It’s your turn to take the stage under the library's Dome! You’ll have five minutes to read your work in front of an audience. Join other writers for an entertaining night of listening and sharing. Refreshments provided. Enter between the lions on Washington Avenue.

 

In this collaborative workshop, participants will have fun filling poetry toolboxes with rhythm, meter, rhyme, tone, line breaks, fixed forms, and all kinds of other useful gear to help make our writing sing! Led by UWO instructor William Gillard in the library's Lower Level Conference Room.

 

Join us in the Lower Level Conference Room for this workshop celebrating National Poetry Month. Oshkosh Poet Laureate Tom Cannon guarantees editing will be fun (or your money back)!  Attendees will write poems, read them, and then discuss how we can sharpen our poems to push them to their potential. Writing a memorable poem helps us to process our emotions and discover our authentic voice.

 

It’s not a joke; at the end of the session, you will have written your life story in six simple words. Not possible? Attend and see! Presented by the Oshkosh Area Writers Club in the library's Lower Level Conference Room.
