The Columbia Writers Alliance Presents:
Line by Line: Poetry Workshop
Date: Tuesday, April 27th
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Place: Richland County Public
Library, Downtown
Assembly Street
Baker & Baker Room (Lower Level)
Where should we break the line? This workshop will pay close
attention, in minute detail, to several of the elements that go into writing a publishable poem. We'll do word by word, line by line
readings of published poets’ work. We will look at line breaks, punctuation, sound, and how to create a poem that demands the attention
of the reader. We will read and write exciting new poems that do more than simply rhyme lines or tumble words onto the page. The workshops will foster honest, direct, and thoughtful critiques, but will be a place where everyone’s individual voice will be
heard and welcomed.
*Workshop will be limited to 15 participants.
