In this workshop, we will look at how poetry relates to other art forms, from rap music to movies to comics. We’ll listen to and read some amazing work by poets writing today, as well as poets from ancient times. Then we’ll write our own poems inspired by the things in our lives and the words of others. This workshop is perfectly timed for National Poetry Month..
