Teen Poetry Workshop:Turning Your Truth Into Poetry

with Youth Poet Laureate Vicky Tinnell

In this workshop for teens, we?ll explore how everyday experiences, memories, emotions, and personal stories can become powerful poems.

What happens when the things we’ve lived through, felt, or kept to ourselves become poetry? In this workshop for teens, we’ll explore how everyday experiences, memories, emotions, and personal stories can become powerful poems. No perfect words or prior experience required—just come as you are and be ready to write.
