Are you afraid of poetry? Not sure you understand it? Maybe you already write poetry, but still that little voice in your head says you’re not doing it “right”?
In a two sessions weekend two-hour workshops, Kelsey will help you play with language in a gentle, nonjudgemental atmosphere. You will read (and enjoy) poems and write some drafts of your own.
