Whether you compose poems on your phone or scribble lines in a notebook, when you follow the urge to write, you’re heeding the call of something important. But how can you best follow that impulse and turn it into a written or spoken word piece that commands attention? In this workshop, we’ll explore some ways to get at our most meaningful material and consider numerous specific strategies for revising our work to maximize its impact on the reader or listener.
Audience: All levels welcome; while we’ll focus on poetry and spoken word, much of what we discuss will apply to the writing of all genres
Bring with you: Your favorite writing tools. We’ll take some time to generate new work, but feel free to bring a poem you’ve already started and would like to improve.
Class limit: Free and open to the public, registration required, 15 participants total. More Information and Signup at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0A4EABA62FA4FE3-from1
