REPLAY: Begin with a List

Thanks to everyone who came out and wrote some truly fire work. This is just a reminder that participants' poems are not recorded, so please attend live sessions to listen to others and share your work.

Join The Poetry Coach community to connect and create. This fun, generative workshop helps you remove blocks to explore your creativity and play with possibilities. Through the Begin With series, Kelly explores one element of craft to help you understand the writing as well as grow your process. In this session, we will focus on lists, harnessing the power of listing to help you make new discoveries about yourself and the world. Expect a warm and friendly environment where you can meet, write, and share your work with writers of all levels. 

In this workshop, participants will:

• Read and discuss examples of powerful images 

• Learn the basics of imagery and how to apply it

• Share and receive warm feedback on their work

• Leave with at least one, possibly two, rough drafts
