Living in the Senses: a 90-minute poetry workshop

Living in the Senses: A Poetry Workshop
3pm ET, Sunday, April 21
$50 | Zoom
Led by Laura S. Marshall

This 90-minute hands-on poetry workshop will focus on how sensory details bring a poem to life, as well as how they add meaning. We’ll examine the effects sensory details have on readers by discussing examples of published poems that use the senses to elicit feeling and evoke meaning, and then we’ll engage in directed writing time to create original poems. Writers will then be invited to share their work with the group, if they choose. At the end of this workshop, attendees will have a deeper understanding of how sensory details enrich a reader’s experience of a poem, as well as the start of a new original poem that they can revise and develop on their own.
