Spooky Poe-try: A Poetry Workshop

In this family friendly event, we will stretch out our imaginations, skip the rules, and play with classic words to spark ideas through found poetry. The facilitators will lead you in a couple of prompts, demonstrate how to create a black out poem based on some of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. There will be additional poetry prompts to create spooky and autumnal poetry. Poems worth reading whilst sipping a cup of tea.

Spooky Poe-try  by Cup of Tea is being held in conjunction with Oregon Writers Colony.
