SUMMARY:Workshop: Writing Peace Into Your Life
DESCRIPTION:When we say we want peace in the world—peace in our own lives—what do we mean? In this workshop we will use writing to explore these questions. The workshop will include short readings\, opportunities for writing\, and discussion to consciously explore the nature of peace and how we can bring it into our lives.

SUMMARY:Poetry Workshop: Unlocking Your Creativity with Image and Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Some of the most creative aspects of poetry writing is making good use of images and metaphor. These can be the keys to unlocking your own imagination\, as well as that of your reader. We will look at how a few master poets used images and metaphor such as Pablo Neruda\, Tomas Tranströmer\, and Jim Moore. And then we’ll give it a try ourselves with opportunities to write. The workshop is for all levels of poetry makers. \nThis is an hour long workshop. Exact time TBD. To register\, go to http://www.banfill-locke.org/classes/take-a-class/
