About this program
Poetry is the foundation for any writer to learn their craft, no matter what genre they work in. Writing poetry lets you play with language, and rediscover joy in the sound, rhythm, look and meaning of words. In this workshop we’ll play with the elasticity of language and discover a unique and individual writer’s voice.
