Waking Up Worlds

In spring, we turn to life and flowers and sitcom clichés!

In this workshop, we'll try to avoid the latter, but we'll write poems about worlds waking up after winters (both calendar-wise and metaphorical).

You'll hear some poems, write some poems and, if you like, share some of what you wrote.
