Program Description
Event Details
Join Pikes Peak Library District as we welcome poet Jodie Hollander for Nature and Place Poetry: A Workshop.
This workshop will focus on the significance of nature and place in poetry. Place may be defined as a geographical location, an internal state, or perhaps a poetic meeting of the two. Using our remarkable surroundings as inspiration, this workshop will lead students through a series of writing prompts to ultimately create an original draft of a poem. In addition, the class will briefly touch on line breaks and the use of sound.
This program is offered as a part of All Pikes Peak Reads.
This event will take place on Zoom. Click on the following link to join the Zoom session: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81017959045?pwd=HpzTs1QFrVgOlrb34IvQDNiYyMaXyw.1
