About this event:
How-to Poems
Rachel will lead a workshop where participants will experiment with the endless ways of writing their own 'how-to' poems, taking the reader through steps (how to do something) and/or moving through physical space (how to get somewhere). We will look at a variety of examples that deliver their message using the form of directions.
