We want everyone to have access to literary arts education, but we also want to compensate our instructors for the important and innovative work they do. If you are able, we appreciate a suggested donation of $15-25 for this class.
About this class:
In this workshop, we will read, write, and share poems composed as letters addressed to people, places, things, or abstract concepts. Inspired by a recent Texas Poetry Assignment, Laurence Musgrove will share a prompt for writing epistolary poems and sample responses. Participants will draft their own letter poems, workshop them in small groups, and share them with others.
