Writing from inside and out
How do we take the raw material of our real and imagined lives, and transform it into poetry? Where do we find the voice to bring it to life? This is a week for exploring and experimenting. Broaden your reading and writing horizons, rise to challenges and make new discoveries, all in a welcoming and constructive atmosphere.
