Presented by Robert Piazza

Rekindle your creative fire! Poets of all levels, from beginner to advanced, come together to read, write, and recite.  During this weekend intensive, we will explore three new strategies for poetry: motion, shift, & contrast.  Seeking inspiration in the poetry of Rilke, Machado, Longfellow, Dickinson, and others, we’ll view their work as springboards or launchpads into our own creativity.  Join us for a weekend workshop in which we experiment with applying these strategies to our own writing.  Bring pencils & notebooks. Poems will be provided. Enjoy opportunities to nurture your inner Muse!
