ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Drawing Solutions: Creative Pathways Through Poetry
The writing process is as much about editing as it is the finished product, and poetry is no different. Who says the editing process cannot include crayons, colored pencils or paint markers? In this hands-on workshop, participants are invited to bring in two poems in progress and explore revision through art making. We’ll experiment with bringing our words to life to reimagine language, deepen feeling, and invoke fresh approaches to the editing process. No art experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to play. Materials will be provided.
