Description
Kimberley Simms will lead a virtual poetry workshop "Cooking with Poetry" on Tuesday, December 7, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm, ET.
In this delicious workshop, poet and educator Kimberly Simms, will guide attendees in writing their own “recipe” style poems. Attendees will also discuss several sample poems to help them explore ideas about food and life. The workshop includes a structured poetic form and a craft lesson so that writers of any level can participate. The workshop will finish with time for sharing and discussion.
This workshop is open to writers of all skill levels and is a fun way to find inspiration from a new prompt or revise current work. It is hosted by the Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara and will use Zoom for the virtual connection. Please visit https://forms.office.com/g/xrtAkQ3QRZ to sign up.
