This class is hosted by Write Around Portland.
Poets and songwriters have quite a bit in common! In this workshop, we’ll explore what makes for a good lyric or poem. Can you put a poem to music? Do song lyrics have the same emotional heft without a melody? We’ll look at a short poem and a set of lyrics, using lines from them to create collage pieces in whatever genre you prefer. Along the way, we’ll do a lot of writing and sharing, and we’ll practice giving each other positive, specific feedback.
This class is intended for teens and pre-teens ages eleven and older. Attendees need a festival pass but no additional registration fee is required.
