Do you have a favorite word? Ever been handed a smattering of words, been told “Here, write a poem with these”? Now is your time to be challenged with the strange, the beautiful, the bizarre, the lovely. We will discuss the meaning behind certain words, how mixing them together changes their meanings, how some words have several definitions depending on how they are used.
 Bring a notebook, something to write with, and your pensive brain. Led by Julie S. Paschold.
