Join Deborah Eve Grayson for a unique poetry workshop on photo-poetics. In this innovative workshop, participants will write from the perspective of certain photos that create an immediate response. Photos and writing prompts will be provided. We will write from multiple perspectives of the photographer, the photograph and the poem. Come and explore this perfect pairing for writing, self-discovery and healing.
