Poetry Springboard: Start with Reading Great Poems In-Person
Poets often write their poems in response to the work of other poets. Sometimes, these poets are close friends, sometimes they are separated by years and generations. In this workshop, we'll discover and read great poems that have inspired later poets, and write our own poems inspired by these sources. Come to the workshop with pen, paper, and a willingness to be surprised.
