This free workshop is great for future Journalists!

Found Poetry Workshop!
Rescheduled for: Thursday, April 10th ~ 6:00pm - 8:00pm
 

Did you know poetry is waiting to be found in the world? In this workshop, we will explore the world of found poetry by talking about how it is defined, reading examples, and practicing in a group. We will then hunt for text to use to write our own found poems. Whether you have never written poetry or have been practicing for years, join us on our search at the library!
