Poetry workshop, Mining Your Memories, with Barbara Smith, Wyoming Poet Laureate

Prairie Pens Writers Group, in cooperation with Campbell County Public Library, will sponsor a Poetry Day with Barbara Smith, Wyoming Poet Laureate. An open to the public workshop, Mining Your Memories, ranked the top presentation at the recent Wyoming Writers Conference, will start at 10 AM in Pioneer Rooms 1 and 2.
Barbara has said, “I will take workshop participants down into the mine of memories through some samples and idea generating exercises which hopefully will produce some precious gems. After we warm up to the thought of looking backwards, we will move forward: what can we make of these gems, what can we make of them in poetry?”
After a break and starting at 1 PM, Barbara will read from her work and answer questions before an Open Mic.
