Poetry Sesh (ages 15-18) April 13, 2024

Does the poetry muse secretly call you occasionally, but you aren’t sure how to get it on the page? Do you write poetry but NO ONE around you understands it? Have you heard of sonnets and odes and lyrics and want to spin some of your thoughts and feelings into verse? Perhaps you can be the next youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history like Amanda Gorman or the next Shakespeare! This one-day poetry workshop is your chance to explore the power of words.

In this one-day workshop, you will:

• Discover fun ways to express yourself through form, rhythm, and imagery.
• Uncover what makes your writing unique and powerful.
• Learn handy tips and tricks to build poems that say exactly what you want them to say.
• Share your words and receive supportive feedback in a community of kindred souls.

Who is this for?

This class is perfect for anyone who is curious about poetry, loves to play with words, and wants to express themselves in a creative way. No experience needed.
