Write Now: Free Poetry Workshop
Tue. Jul 11-Aug 1
7:00-8:30pm
Instructor: Raja Belle Freeman
Generate new poems in this free four-week class designed to kick your writing into gear. Each week we'll share our writing, find inspiration in close poetry readings, and respond to in-class exercises to get going on the next piece. Throughout the class we'll discuss craft, experiment with new poetic forms, play with language and line breaks, and find out what sparks our own process. Presented in partnership with CH-UH Libraries.
