What we read can excite us, anger us, or stir new ideas. Did you know you can talk back to other writers through your own poems? Poets do it all the time! We'll look at a variety of poems that use other writing as their point of inspiration. Then we'll choose lines we like, concepts we want to grapple with, things we have more to say about, and compose our own pieces. For grades 9-12. Welcome to the conversation!

This workshop is for students in 9-12th grade and will take place online using Zoom.
