Poetry & Zine Workshop!

Poetry & Zine Workshop!

Join Julia Murphy (Pedal Press) and Sarah Pape (NCWP) for a morning of poetry writing and zine making. We’ll be trying our hand at both familiar and new short poetic forms, then moving those drafts into a mini zine form. You’ll leave with new writing prompts and an easy booklet format for your own artistic exploration and/or classroom ideas.

This workshop is free and open to all ages and experience levels. Register here: https://forms.gle/E8t5E4WS56te3BXo9
