Nature and Place Poetry: A Workshop 
Online: Wed., Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. 
Join Pikes Peak Library District as we welcome poet Jodie Hollander for Nature and Place Poetry: A Workshop. This workshop will focus on the significance of nature and place in poetry. Place may be defined as a geographical location, an internal state, or perhaps a poetic meeting of the two. Using our remarkable surroundings as inspiration, this workshop will lead students through a series of writing prompts to ultimately create an original draft of a poem. In addition, the class will briefly touch on line breaks and the use of sound.
