It’s true. You really Can Write good poetry now.
Because 2020 has been one of the most dramatic years, it's time for you to write poetry that's true, naked, and real. Poetry is oxygen for your soul. Poetry is meant to be written, read, memorized, published, put to music, and spoken aloud. When you write poetry, you express what you cannot say any other way.
If you've ever experienced brainstorming, you know you can storm your imagination. When you do, you'll surprise yourself with ideas, thoughts, images, metaphors, and great joy. Storming your poetic imagination makes for loads of fun and a plethora of poetic learning opportunities.
There's no better time to write poetry than now. Writing poetry feeds your heart and helps you deal with the tough stuff like COVID-19. Writing poetry gives you the satisfaction of knowing you showed up, wrote what you had to write, and planted your poetic flag on solid ground.
In this Write Poetry Now! workshop you'll explore: 1) Stormy writing. 2) Rhythm and form. 3) Jolly rants. 4) Dramatic moments. 5) Poetic deep-dives. 6) The swampy marsh of your psychology.
You'll learn how to: Storm your poetic imagination. Develop your poetic range. Write poetry that rings true. Create poetic forms. Surge with creativity. Open up and free your imagination.
Break free. We've got work to do!
Join us and make your poetry the good stuff people will want to read.
Register Now. Limit 15. After you register, I’ll send you your confirmation and a Zoom link.
