I'm going to be teaching a free workshop in a most exquisite setting (who can resist a room called "Celestial Hall of Permeating Fragrance"?) in early June. Won't you join us?
WRITING THE LIFE POETIC: A workshop with Sage Cohen
Poetry is one of the great pleasures in life, and no one needs an advanced degree in creative writing to reap its rewards. Sage Cohen, author of Writing the Life Poetic: An Invitation to Read and Write Poetry, will share some of her favorite approaches to living and writing a poetic life. Through prompts and exercises, she will invite writers of all backgrounds to experience their life through a poetic lens. Participants will discover new ways to think and write about the subjects that interest them––and get inspired to start capturing those observations on paper immediately.
Monday, June 7
11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Lan Su Chinese Garden
Scholar’s Study (Celestial Hall of Permeating Fragrance)
239 Northwest Everett Street
(@ NW 3rd)
Portland, Oregon 97209

Workshop is free, but requires paying the price of admission to the garden:
$8.50 Adults
$7.50 Seniors (62 & above)
$6.50 Students (6-18 & college students with I.D.)
Spring is a great time to hone our receptivity to poetry. Bring your notebook and pen to one of the most poetic places in Portland, and we'll simmer together in the possibilities of poetry. No advance registration necessary.





Beautiful. Thank you.
Peace,
Diane
