About the workshop

Calling all young creators!  This workshop is for kids who love hands-on creative experiences. Visiting Writer Jessica Jones will be gathering with the kids of Philipsburg to read and write poems about home.  First, we'll look at examples of famous poems such as "Home," by Salish author Jennifer Finley, and "Where I'm from," by southern writer George Ella Lyon.  Then, we'll try collaborating to compose a group poem with lines from every child on their experiences of their hometown. Our final product will be show-cased on the "Dear Philipsburg" community poem website!

What to bring: Everything you need will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your favorite notebook or writing tool.
