Great poetry can help us gain a new perspective, appreciate spring wildflowers, and share our deepest truths.  In this workshop, students will try out different styles of poetry, from free verse, haikus, and odes to performance poetry like slam poems and spoken word. We’ll create our own verses and rhymes that shine a light on the world around us and illuminate the universe inside.

About Write Away Workshops

We know that young authors have the power and imagination to go beyond the five-paragraph essay. In Write Away Workshops, students explore a multitude of genres and subjects, and develop their voices as writers. Groups write freely and participate in imaginative writing activities and lessons. Young writers leave each workshop with a piece to be proud of, as well as a newfound understanding of the topic and new friends.
