Holiday stress doesn't need to get us down when we have poetry to connect to our shared humanity. In the first of this two-part workshop, discuss what type of poems might address certain "conditions" and be inspired by poems that might prompt your own writing. At the December 21 Participant Workshop, we will be answering live phone calls to deliver "poem prescriptions" for callers. No experience needed. Come with curiosity.
