The objective of this hands-on poetry writing workshop is to produce a series of poems based on a selection of writing exercises. Participants will find ways to move through writing blocks, find new ways of seeing, and give voice to ideas that hadn’t previously surfaced. Participants are asked to bring a photograph that they like (personal or not), and a small object. If participants have laptops, they are welcome to bring them. Everyone will need a pen and paper. No experience required.
