Poetry workshop with poet, educator and visual artist Bianca Stone!

Speaking to the Selves: Poetry’s Vast & Intimate Conversation

This two hour workshop will be on the power of conversation in poetry, with both the self and reader. In our brief time we will discuss poetry, how it has touched us as readers and writers, and how to better expand our writing, reading and listening practice. We’ll read some inspiring poems, then do some in-class prompts, and have the opportunity to share our work. Through looking at the world around us, and within us, we will see how we may find ourselves, in the words of Wallace Stevens, “more truly and more strange” on the page.
