Poetry Workshop: Beauty & The Soul’s Code

Workshop Description

Have you ever written poetry or wanted to? Did you used to write poetry but something or someone convinced you that you weren’t “a poet”? 

During this workshop we will take theory into action and experiment with the craft. That is, the creation of poetry as a way to cultivate meaning and beauty during this critical and remarkable period of time when the world – and American life, in particular –  is so disparaging. 

Using some poems, prompts and suggestions, we will examine a few basic tools that every writer should have in their toolbox. We will look at basic things like how point of view or verb tense can completely change a poem’s tone and effect. Participants will be given time to draft and share new poems.

Poets and non-poets alike will be welcome and feel encouraged by the workshop. At the heart of Lisa’s own call to poetry is the belief that we all have a unique story that only we can tell. 

Poetry, known by many as the language of the heart, is a natural way to give these stories life. Please join us for a sharing of spirit and language in this interactive poetry writing workshop, where every poem and every poet has a place at the table.

You will enjoy this workshop if:

• You are interested in learning more about the craft and writing of poetry.
• You are interested in exploring your own poetic voice. What is it that you want to say that might express itself best in poetry?
• You are a closet poet who stopped sharing (or never shared) your work because you thought it wasn’t good enough.
• You are willing to take a risk to see what your heart might want to tell you.
