One Train May Hide Another: A Found Poetry Workshop

Saturdays, May 19 and 26 / 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. / Ages 13 - 17

In this workshop we will explore how the everyday language we come across--in conversation, via signs, directions, newspaper articles, lists, and notes--all can become poetic by simply looking at them from another perspective. To gain this new perspective, we'll experiment and play with a variety of found poetry forms and exercises that include centos, erasures, and more.

When poet Jared Leising isn't at 826 Seattle, you'll likely find him at Cascadia Community College where he teaches English, or at home looking under beds for lost action figures with his son.

Session Dates:

Session 1: May 19 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Session 2: May 26 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
