Event Description
Are there images and ideas you don’t write about because you’re afraid of being cliched? Do you have ear-worm words and phrases that you find yourself hearing time and time again in your poetry? In this workshop you’ll embrace the universal, and experiment with ways to make shared, human experiences brand-new.
