Many Streams of Consciousness: Youth Writing Workshop
Join award-nominated editor, spoken word poet, critic, and fiction writer J.B. Stone as we look at art featured in the WNY Book Arts Center, finding our muses, while breaking with form and structure to create our own stories.
In this youth writing workshop, we’ll explore two different writing forms—stream of consciousness and ekphrasis!
If you attend in person, JBWC doors open at 3:30pm. Feel free to drop in early to relax with a book, work on your writing, try a prompt, or catch up with your creative peers!
