Poetry is everywhere, just waiting for you to find it. In this class, students will create visually striking found poetry in the form of collages and centos that use the work of other writers to express their own thoughts and emotions. No poetic experience necessary! Just come ready to cut, paste, and collage your way to a work of literary art. Ages 12-18.
