Sunday November 8th, 12am-3pm

Facilitator: Stephanie

Theme: Erasure Poetry

Come join us for an afternoon of poetry & play with our Cut-and-Paste Erasure Poetry Workshop. Create your own erasure poem using a hands-on method with our collection of found materials. Find meaning in the mundane by creating a poem out of an existing work, and enjoy this low-stakes exercise in creative expression. What poems will you "find" during this workshop? This offering is part of the Poetry is For Everyone project led by poet and facilitator Stephanie Liang, who is interested in poetry as a way to build community and create further possibilities.
