If your dream is to attend a retreat immersed in poetry,
here's your chance! Develop stronger poetry skills by discussing,
writing, revising, and working on the craft of poetry. This
workshop focuses on the essential elements of poetry and the
importance of language. We will use all of the senses to explore
this unique form of writing: observation, optional nature
walks, journaling, quiet writing, shared writing, and group
discussions.
- focus on free verse and rhyme;
- experiment with creative writing exercises;
- examine the work of well-known poets; and
- participate in one-on-one critiques.
PLEASE NOTE: Feel free
to bring 15 copies of up to 6 poems for the group to critique. |
