Invitation to Poetry with Linda Carney-Goodrich
Have you ever wanted to write poetry but don’t know how to start? Are you curious about the language of poetry and its many forms? Would you like to read, discuss and try your own hand at different styles of poetry in a supportive and encouraging environment? In this workshop we will read and discuss a wide range of poetry from modern spoken word to the ancient and more formal. Each session will focus on a specific theme and include many prompts to get you writing. This workshop is an invitation to delve into art made of words, sounds, and metaphor. It is open to all, from the nervous beginner to the more confident poet.
