Travel Through Metaphor

In this generative workshop, we will consider factors that contribute to poetic voice. In doing so, we will see that our voices are not waiting to be found somewhere outside of ourselves. Rather, they call us to listen deeply to who we are and how we experience the world. You can expect to leave the workshop with tools for thinking about what makes your poetic expression unique. The workshop is open to writers of all levels, but some basic experience with poetry writing is recommended. Email sarahwolfsonwriter@gmail.com to reserve your spot in advance. Space is limited.
