Writer's Workshop: The Art of Writing Poetry
Instructor: Jim O'Brien
Join us for a hands-on generative workshop on poetry writing where we will face those fears by looking at different types of poems and spend time getting those first drafts started.
Please bring your preferred writing materials or technology.
