Writing Together - Poetry
This workshop focuses on using the Golden Shovel form to help us write poems by working with limitations. Borrowing from other poems, lyrics, phrases or even newspaper clippings, participants will write their own poems inspired by and using other peoples words. The Golden Shovel form is a poetic form created by award winning poet Terrance Hayes in homage to poet Gwendolyn Brooks.
