Description
For centuries, creating art, and writing poetry in particular, has served as a form of healing for hurt, pain and grief. Last year, the Tunnel Fire devastated and traumatized the Flagstaff community. In this workshop, we’ll discuss examples of celebrated poems that tackle these difficult topics and study effective techniques for channeling our pain into poetry. Then, through a series of writing prompts, we'll delve into our own experiences and turn them into powerful, effective poems. This workshop is for anyone who is interested in the incredible transformative power of poetry to heal our wounds.
Spaces are limited for this workshop. To register, please email Ryan Carpenter at ryan_p_carpenter@nps.gov or call the Walnut Canyon visitor center at 928-526-3367.
