October 25th @ 5:30pm<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrompts To Poetry – A Generative Poetry Workshop<\/strong>
Bring your writing materials to this fun brainstorming session with Poet Laureate Wendy Van Camp. She will give you a series of literary fiction prompts and ask you to write the details for a poem in only a few minutes before moving on to the next prompt. Crazy? Maybe so, but this method of rapid ideation promotes high levels of creativity and helps keep the poet’s inner editor out of the creative process. Expect to create at least six new seeds of poetry that you can grow into a full poem by the end of the workshop. At the end, you may read your poem to the class. The Anaheim Library will provide refreshments for our event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
