Poetry Workshops 2013

Poet Angela Voras-Hills will run this three session workshop at Hawthorne Library, where participants will read poems and discuss the elements of the craft of writing poetry. As participants read poems, they will focus on sound, image, voice, and language to determine how they work together to influence meaning and evoke emotion. Each week, writers will respond to creative writing prompts and have the option of sharing their writing. This is a great workshop for anyone interested in learning more about poetry and writing more poems. Participants may sign up for one, two, or all three workshops:

Monday, June 3
Monday, June 17
Monday, July 1

All workshops begin at 6:30pm and last for approximately one hour. Register online!: http://www.madisonpubliclibrary.org/new/poetry-toolbox
