Poetry Workshop – Finding Your Voice Through Verse (Online)
–
Jul 10
Thursdays, July 10 and 24, 6:00 - 7:30 PM, Online Event
What is a poem, and why do we write them? In this six-week workshop, we’ll explore poetry as a powerful response to life’s moments. Through discussion, guided prompts, and contemporary examples, you'll be encouraged to find or deepen your poetic voice. No rhyming required. Sessions include instruction, time for questions, and the opportunity to listen to and reflect on shared poems—your own or the work of published poets. Participants will write between sessions and may choose to share their work for supportive feedback. We’ll begin by exploring how you write and what tools or technology you use to capture inspiration. Optional reading: A Poetry Handbook by Mary Oliver, available on BARD.
To RSVP, contact Sabrina Bolus at sbolus@old.lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7607.
