Intro to Poetry Workshop w/ Poet Laureate Hallie Waugh Sunday, April 12, 1:00 PM Edmond LibraryWhether you're a poetry lover or feel like you don't quite "get" poetry, this session is for you. Intro to Poetry is a low-barrier, welcoming exploration of what poems can do: how to read them, what to look for, and what they stir in us as readers. We’ll read a range of voices and styles, talk about the many ways to understand and respond to a poem, and try a few optional writing exercises. No experience needed—just an open mind.
