Flagstaff Writers Connection
is pleased to present a
Poetry Workshop
with
Brian Evan-Jones.
April 30th
12-3 pm
on
Zoom
The hardest part of poetry isn’t writing the first version: it’s knowing how you can redraft to make your idea fulfill its potential. Even experienced poets can find themselves scared to push a poem as far as it will go, while beginners may not know what to do beyond changing a word here or there. In this workshop, poet and teacher Brian Evans-Jones will show you how you can radically rework your poems in three vital areas: structure and overall ideas, form and approach, and power of language. Through practical writing exercises, you’ll learn key things you can do to take a poem from OK to good, or good to great!
$50
Suitable for all levels.
Please bring 2-3 unfinished poem drafts of your own to work on.
