Location: Firehouse Cultural Center
Event type: Workshops & Classes
The Dog Days Poetry Workshop led by John Davis Jr. will allow participants to craft and respond to poems that “beat the heat.” That is, we’ll be reading and writing poems about all things cold. Through the use of intensely frigid imagery, writers will get a short respite from August in Florida.
This workshop is for participants Teens & Adults.
