Misfit Poetry workshop with Zach Hively

One of these things is not like the other. We’ll learn to find the threads that connect unrelated ideas to mine new depths in our poems. This generative workshop, our most popular offering to date, requires no experience writing poetry and strengthens writers of all genres.

Thursday, January 11, 2024. 6-8 p.m. MDT via Zoom.

Instructor: Zach Hively

Special pricing: $65 per participant; $60 for residents of Rio Arriba County, NM. Max 8 participants.
