Sprout Your Seeds Workshop
Saturday April 30 In this two-part generative poetry workshop, we'll explore new ways to see our own work in relationship to the living world around us. Following a series of prompts and possibilities, you'll have a chance to start growing in new directions on the page. Exploring various strategies for how to get started, how to keep going, and how to improve what you've already written, this is a mixed genre class, welcoming poets, fiction writers, and nonfiction writers. |
Spring Workshop is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature.
National Poetry Day
Each year we mark National Poetry Day on October 15 by encouraging our members to spread the love of poetry in their communities. See how we celebrate.
This year writers of all experience levels from aspiring to established are invited to Installations and Inspirations, a community writing event, starting at 1PM, at the Rockpile Museum, 900 W. 2nd Street, Gillette. While there participants will learn about and explore ekphrastic writing—creating prose and poetry inspired by images and objects—in a fun, informal, informative atmosphere.
Participants will discover how visual prompts found in the museum’s exhibits can make history, and creativity, come alive. The event is sponsored by the Rockpile Museum Association; admission fees will be waived for the afternoon.
Members of Prairie Pens local writers’ group will be on hand to share in the event and to offer assistance and encouragement if needed. The group usually meets at 1PM, the third Saturday of each month, in pioneer Room 1, at Campbell County Public Library.
