Drawing inspiration from nature, in this workshop participants will learn how to translate their most powerful impressions of the natural world into a polished, musical poem. In addition to engaging in exercises designed to awaken fresh and vivid imagery, this workshop will center around line-breaks and how to craft an ear-pleasing line of poetry. No experience necessary.
