Poems are containers for feeling, for expression, for memory, for capturing that something, something, and much more. It’s often difficult to carve out time to write with the pace of modern life: work, kids, commuting, pets, cooking, cleaning, etc. So much can get in the way of doing this thing that we love, and blocking out time can be the hardest part. So, let’s set aside this time for poetry, for you, for your creative work. Instructor Sarah Audsley will lead you through a five-week workshop where you’ll read and discuss poems, have time to write, and will tackle the publishing/submitting hurdle together.
Writers at all stages are welcome. At each session, participants will receive poem packets for discussion and be invited to try new poetic forms. By the end of the class, all participants will have several new poems written and will be ready to revise and submit their work.
This is an online 5-week workshop. Classes will be held over Zoom.
The workshop will occur on the following days:
March 5: 6:30 - 8:30 pm ET (Tuesday)
March 12: 6:30 - 8:30 pm ET (Tuesday)
March 19: 6:30 - 8:30 pm ET (Tuesday)
March 27: 6:30 - 8:30 pm ET (Wednesday)
April 2: 6:30 - 8:30 pm ET (Tuesday)
