#poembox

I did a write-up on the poem box workshop I led on Monday night. It was so much fun!

I’m excited to announce that on November 6, 2017, I'm teaching a free class on making poem boxes at Redline, in conjunction with Denver Talks, enabled by Lighthouse Writers Workshop, the City & County of Denver, and NEA Big Read.

From the Redline site: 

Join us and our friends from Lighthouse Writers Workshop as we create poem boxes using text from Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric as inspiration. Poem boxes are sculptural interpretations of text, like a literary diorama; they are whatever you want them to be. Supplies will be provided, including found objects, though participants are encouraged to bring small items that inspire you, as well as a box you want to use (for example: an old shoebox). At the end we'll discuss how Rankine's text affected us, and how we transformed words and objects into art. Feel free to BYOB ("B" stands for beer and/or box!)
