Beyond Feelings and Fancy Words: Honing Your Poem-Writing Skills

Resource person: Alicia Nilo | Education Coordinator

Location: Room 201 | 415 E. Sheridan St, Newberg, OR, 97132

Description:

Competent craftspeople can build great things because they know their tools and have lots of practice using them. The same holds true for poets. This workshop will focus on poetic tools (including imagery, syntax, sound, diction, lineation, and more) and give you the opportunity to practice using them, expanding your poetic possibilities. Ideally, allow a couple hours for reading and writing between classes.  

*Note: This class requires a minimum of 4 students to enroll. Registrants will be refunded if enrollments do not reach minimum requirement.
