This creative writing workshop is open to anyone, regardless of writing experience. In it, we will read the work of Amanda Gorman, the poet at President Joe Biden's inauguration, and then create our own poetry. Gorman uses her poetry to explore the place and the environment in which she is writing.
Participants will be encouraged to write their own poems, focusing on their lives currently, and how a place (Country, town, living room) plays into their narrative.
Additionally, we will discuss how poetry and the arts can be used as a way to work through our own struggles - be they emotional, physical, or situational.
VINE will be a co-sponsor of the event
