Pennyroyal Area Museum | Hopkinsville, KY
What’s your personal declaration? What do you want to be free from?
Highlight the truths you "hold to be self-evident" through the art of poetry on this 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Workshops begin with participants introducing themselves by – using only six words -- completing the statement, “I declare myself free from.... " or "I hold this truth to be self-evident"...
You'll be encouraged to express just one specific thought or idea, from silly to serious, earth-shattering to mundane, reflecting the range of cherished beliefs and attitudes. The 6-word requirement reflects the six bold words from the Declaration of Independence “that all men are created equal.”
Workshops (hosted by award-winning writer Constance Alexander) will feature at least 2 opportunities for free-writing based on prompts influenced by the spirit and wording of the Declaration of Independence, and its relevance today, 250 years later.
