Finding the Poet Within at the Santa Cruz Art League, 526 Broadway, Santa Cruz. Six Thursday evenings, January 5, 12, 19, 26, and February 2 and 9, 2012 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.
Appropriate for all levels. In this class the emphasis will be on writing new poems in a supportive workshop format. Reading a variety of published poets, we’ll explore the writing craft and generate new writing strategies. Participants will build skills to create a writing practice, uncover their unique voice, and own their story. We'll also work on revision and performance; and we'll make space for any ongoing writing projects. By focusing on what’s true in our poems, we will push past our perceived limits and achieve new dimensions within our work.
Cost: $145/125 for members of the Art League.
