Poetry/Storytelling Writing Workshop with Cortney Davis.

On June 16th Cortney will facilitate a Poetry Writing Workshop that will be all about using our senses (what we see, hear, taste, remember, etc.) to create a poem alive with vivid imagery and emotional impact. After a fun warm-up writing exercise, we will move on to a multi-part prompt. Bring plenty of paper for writing and a few sheets of blank paper. Be ready to do some of your best and most exciting writing!
