How to Get Started Writing Poetry

In this relaxed, supportive workshop we'll read some contemporary poetry and explore technique as a springboard to some fun writing exercises. We'll focus on the natural music of words, making verbal leaps , and letting go of expectations to hone in on your unique poetic voice. Please bring your favorite writing implements with you. Carol Graser hosts Caffè Lena's monthly poetry night and is the author of the poetry collection The Wild Twist of Their Stems (Foothills Publishing). She has taught poetry to the enthusiastic and as well as to the extremely leery.
