8 weeks beginning January 15
$40 class fee

REGISTER for age 14 & up: 7-8 p.m.
No materials fee, but students are expected to bring their own writing tool and journal/notebook.
Throughout this eight-week course, students will not only craft and workshop their own poems, but also learn about the importance of poetry being spoken. Speech and poetry writing techniques, articulation, and performance will be emphasized. Students will share their work in a spoken word/poetry slam in January (date TBD) to conclude the course for friends and family.
MONICA GREER: “I am a resident of Ashtabula, Ohio but was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have been writing poetry for over 20 years. It all started when I was asked to join a poetry club in the 5th grade, and I’ve never stopped writing since. I have a published book on Amazon and Kindle, but I have many other books I have not published yet. Writing poetry is an emotional and mental release for me; it helps me get my thoughts and emotions out of the mind and heart and down in writing. I look forward to exploring the world of poetry with all who would like to join this Poetry club!”
