Poetry is about exploring language and what better way to explore than to craft poetry from materials like newspapers, magazines, and historic publications? Through this workshop we'll learn the basics of found poetry, read some found poems together, and then get to create our own poems through collage and black-out poetry techniques. This workshop is suitable for both experienced poets and beginners.
