Making Meaningful Poems: Generative Poetry Workshop

Generate new poems in this free eight-week class designed to kick your writing into gear. Each week we'll share our writing, find inspiration in published poems, and respond to in-class exercises to get going on the next piece. Throughout the class we'll discuss craft, experiment with new poetic forms, play with language and line breaks, and find out what sparks our process. Presented in partnership with Cleveland Public Library. 
 
This class will meet in person at the large meeting room at the South Branch of the Cleveland Public Library (3096 Scranton Rd, Cleveland, OH 44113). Masks are required to be worn at all times.
