FOOLING AROUND WITH POETRY (Learning What Makes a Poem a Poem; Practicing Poem-Making via Playful Prompts)

Ever wished your writing had more finesse? Or wondered what goes into the making of a fine poem? This workshop that celebrates both National Poetry Month and April Fool’s Day explores “poetic ingredients” in the areas of content, sound, and form that will increase your writing expertise. As we “fool around” with these ingredients through lively discussion and playful prompts, you’ll learn how to identify and use them to strengthen your poetry and/or prose, as well as foolproof ways to ease into the writing process. All levels welcome.
