On Demand!!! Music and Food in Poetry - A CONTINUATION; SPRING INTO SUMMER
Over the course of this seven-week poetry workshop, we will continue to discover the landscape of camouflaged music in poetry, and explore through food in poetry, our relationships to family, culture, and earth.
This workshop will explore the variations of how poetic forms describe and express. The workshop will be a generative one, as well as emphasizing craft, and specific and careful word choices, and how and why poetry elicits reactions.
My wish is to meet you wherever you are as a poet, and guide towards writing more finished poems, therefore inviting you even more so into this community of poets.
Seven Evening Generative Poetry Workshop that can accommodate you either in June or/and July/August sessions if you are unable to attend all sessions.
There are two sessions set for summer months and you can join one or both depending on your schedule. The workshops meet on Monday eves at Somos from 6-8:45 p.m.
Session One: June 3, 10, 17
