Workshop at the Bloomingdale Library in June

We have been invited to run a workshop at the Bloomingdale Public Library in Bloomingdale, Illinois on Wednesday, June 18 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. If you don't mind traveling, we would love to see you out there.

Two of our poets, Kitty and Qoca, will be on hand to lead the workshop (along with Ms. Z, of course. But who wants to hear from her when Kitty and Qoca are so much more interesting?)

The agenda will go something like this:

We will have a getting to know you exercise (nothing too scary or embarrassing). Then we will discuss various techniques for the technical aspects of poetry (That's where our poets come in). Next we will offer you a couple of formal forms you can try. As a group we will endeavor to create a poem that will go down in history. Finally we hope that by the time you are done you will create something on your own that you would be glad to publish in our e-zine or some other publication.

I can't wait to see you there.
