Poetic Legacy II

 6:00pm

Coordinated by published poets Pat Andrus and Christopher R, each workshop focuses on one poet, including the reading of several poems by participants (remember that poetry was originally meant to be heard).  After this round robin of reading and listening to various poems of the selected poet, everyone has 15-20 minutes to quietly write their own pieces of writing, inspired by a title, line, or just from soaking in the words heard and read.  Finally, anyone who wishes to share any or all his or her writing, is encouraged to do so.
