Details

Not feeling inspired? That's no excuse. Get to writing! In this workshop we'll learn how to write even when we're not feeling it. Led by poet Bartholomew Barker, we will cover creative ways to generate prompts with common (and not so common) household objects and how to silence our inner critic. Expect to emerge with four to six new poems in various states of completion.
