Typewriter Art: Visual Poetry & Experimental Writing with Diego Espíritu (Youth Writing Workshop)
From words to images, poetry can take many forms: a big skyscraper, a box in the middle of the page made of the alphabet, or a sphere drawn with the sound of the letter Z. Almost anything can be a poem if you pay close attention to it!
In this youth writing workshop, we will use the typewriter to learn how to draw poetry.
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!
