Spooky Poe-try: A Poetry Workshop

Spooky Poe-try: A Poetry Workshop

In this family friendly event, we will stretch out our imaginations, skip the rules, and play with classic words to spark ideas through found poetry. The facilitators will lead you in a couple of prompts, demonstrate how to create a black out poem based on some of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. There will be additional poetry prompts to create spooky and autumnal poetry. Poems worth reading whilst sipping a cup of tea.

Spooky Poe-try by Cup of Tea is being held in conjunction with Oregon Writers Colony.

Jone Rush MacCulloch brings her love and expertise of poetry to guide individuals to make poetry bloom. Her poems and art have been published in children’s anthologies as well as The Poeming Pigeon. She is currently working on a novel in verse for middle graders. Cup of Tea has become her new go-to place during the week.

Suz Blackaby is a chronic dabbler and a genre jumper. She has made a bouncy career of writing books for children, including picture books, poetry, biographies, and early readers. Poetry for adults—a more recent whirl—has appeared in The Gold Man Review, VoiceCatcher, and Abandoned Mine, and she was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Her desk looks out over a stretch of the Columbia River on the far side of the Cascades.
