Be prepared to move and connect with your fellow poets using your eyes and ears and hands and heart. We will explore Whitman’s love for the verb and physicalize our poem with feeling when we whisper, shout and sing our lines. This workshop is designed for young students of all reading and writing levels. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
