Drop into the Philipsburg Library for this free Writing Workshop with Artist-in-Residence Jessica Jones.
In this 90 minute workshop, participants will learn about the elements of narrative poetry. We will read a few samples, including Jennifer Finley's poem, "Arlee," Maggie Anderson's "Country Wisdoms," and Joanne Lehman's "I was the Wagon Hitcher." Attendees will select a prompt and try their hand at writing their own piece, then are welcome to come to the author's "Story Booth" to receive one-on-one feedback. Afterward, all will be invited to revise and upload their creative expressions to the community poem website, "Dear Philipsburg."
Audience: This workshop is suitable for ages 16+.
What to bring: Everything you need will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your favorite notebook or writing tool.
