This is a good class for beginner to intermediate poets who have an interest in poetry but aren’t really sure where to get started.
We’re celebrating National Poetry Month at POST with a four-part writing workshop in which you will read, write, and assemble poems into a small chapbook. Led by Bay Area author Connor Miller, we’ll focus on going from zero to hero with approachable, fun, and supportive poetry exercises aimed at helping you find your voice.
The workshop will wrap up on the final day with a special letterpress printing bonus! Everyone will have the opportunity to set type and print their own chapbook cover with Clare Fox, in the POST print shop.
In this workshop you will:
- Read a diverse collection of poems to inspire you.
- Participate in poetry games and writing exercises.
- Write and revise your own poems.
- Assemble a small chapbook of your poems.
- Print your own typeset chapbook cover on an antique letterpress.
All materials and supplies will be provided.
