$Geek Speak: A Poet\u2019s Guide to Foraging: Creating Found Poetry$

Please join us for the final Geek Speak of spring:
April 13 with Dr. Courtney Huse Wika:
“A Poet’s Guide to Foraging: Creating Found Poetry”
In honor of National Poetry Month, this hands-on workshop will introduce the art of Found Poetry. Together, we’ll practice two distinct approaches, foraging from texts that already exist: the overheard, the discarded, the official and the everyday, and the overlooked. We will test how meaning shifts when language is lifted, reordered, and reframed. No prior experience is required. Bring yourself (and maybe a friend!)—and a desire to create.
These lectures are free and open to the public.
