Poetry
Description: Baudelaire said: “Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry.”
Sate your hunger for poetry with this one night workshop. We will discuss our process, write from multiple prompts and workshop our poetry.
For the summer, we’ve been offering the Poetry class once a month for those interested in attending just once or coming to each monthly session.
