Lines for the Common

for poets & secret poets & those who are new to creative writing

three simple and enjoyable practices
that will help you make space for poetry
even in a busy life
this workshop serves as a kick-off for National Poetry Month, and will include an invitation to continue practicing, by joining us for the first #linesforthecommon challenge during April (for which there is no cost)

What you will learn in this Zoom workshop
We will introduce you to the time honored practice of Commonplacing, and show you how to begin your own Commonplace Book.
And we'll teach you a simple and enjoyable poetic form called the Cento and how to create a poem from found materials.
By the time you depart, you will have completed a short poem, and perhaps, encountered some new ways to nurture your creative life.
Bring a notebook and join us on Zoom for this special community gathering hosted by Holly Wren Spaulding (Poetry Forge) and Kat Farrell-Davis (Tending the Depths).
