Poetry Workshop - fourth Sunday
Christoper Soden writes:
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, our next poet’s workshop should be 1PM, May 30th, the 4th Sunday in May, at 1/2 Price Books at Central & Northwest Highway. We bring copies of our poems, and discuss them, in the traditional approach, i.e. let the group extrapolate what they can before the writer reveals intent. We are a burgeoning group of dedicated, avid, intelligent, tactful writers who are trying to learn from each other and grow as craftsmen of poetry. We need others of the same inclination and welcome them.
