Freeing Our Poetic Voices

Celebrate National Poetry Month with ACA!

Convinced that sonnets are for Sonneteers? Sure that writing in the traditional poetic forms is the surest way to muzzle creativity? Join Florida Poet Laureate for Volusia County, M.B. McLatchey, in exploring how writing in poetic forms – chants, odes, haikus, epistolary poems, and more – can unleash our most authentic voices. Beginners to advanced-level poets are invited.

4 sessions: Wednesdays on April 3, 10, 17, 24
4-6PM
ACA Harris House (214 S. Riverside Drive, NSB)
