T.S. Eliot said, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different." In this one day workshop we will learn how to use great poems as the building blocks for our own exciting and new work. Class time will include looking at example poems, discussion, and generative exercises. This is a great workshop for beginners and experienced writers a like.
