About this program

In this hands-on, collaborative workshop, we’ll start with the writing prompt: “What is your earliest memory?” and create a series of group poems that are both specific and personal. We’ll also look at examples of how this same memory prompt inspired the verse novel “These Are Not the Words.”

The workshop explores ways that our memories and dreams can spark ideas and springboard us into larger writing projects.
