The Dog Days Poetry Workshop

Saturday, August 24, 2019, 9:30 am – 11:00 am

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.
