Whether we've been writing poetry for decades or we're just starting out, we can always find inspiration in other poems. This generative writing workshop will look at a variety of poems to give us ideas for our own. This friendly workshop will have lots of writing time and optional sharing.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
