Turning to Poetry

JA9-P01
5 Wednesdays 7-9 p.m.
June 17 through July 11
$99 W&B members / $104 general public
Instructor: Anne C. Coon

Think of a poetry writing workshop as a gift -- for yourself or a friend... Maybe even sign up with a friend! “I’ve always wanted to write poetry.” “I used to write poetry, but....” “I have things I want to say!” Sharpen or  charge your writing tool of choice and take a shot a something you’ve wanted to do for a long time. In a workshop setting with lots of interaction and encouragement, you just might discover the best gift yet: your own creative voice.
