Poetry is a wonderful way to convey emotions, share ideas, and entertain the audience. Join local Y members and discover your creative writing side.
Learn about poetry styles, examine the use of poetics in poetry and prose poems, and practice writing with guided prompts. Share your poems or a favorite poem of another, and discuss the experience of discovering your creative writing side with the group.
This special workshop meets every other week on Zoom. Mark your calendars with upcoming dates! You can participate in every workshop or drop in for inspiration and writing prompts.
