Finding Your Poetic Voice: 'For Life's Not a Paragraph'
Taught by Justin Ogline
Finding Your Poetic Voice: ‘For Life’s Not a Paragraph’ (titled from E.E. Cumming’s poem [since feeling is first]) will help you find the poetry in life and your own unique poetic voice. In a stress-free, generative workshop series spanning six sessions, we will examine poetry, looking for the muse that inspires you to capture a piece of yourself in words. You will walk away with a better understanding of poetry and your poetic voice, all in an inclusive, encouraging environment that fosters confidence, sincerity, curiosity, intuition, and an ever-vigilant eye for your muse.
