Description

In honor of Poetry Month, this workshop will feature several Montana poets who will read poetry and discuss the genre and its effect on how we view the world. Hearing poems read out loud is a vital way to delve into what it means to be human. Meeting poets face-to-face broadens our understanding and often delights. Participants are encouraged to bring their own poems and will have the opportunity to share them with the group. Several local poets will participate as well.
