Join author, librarian, and California Poets in the Schools teacher Lea Aschkenas for a poetry-writing workshop. Participants will read and discuss several stylistically and thematically diverse poems and then, using these as inspiration for the subtle art of imitation, craft our own poems. Please call the Library at 473-2050 with any questions.
