5. The Poet's Toolkit: Line Breaks
Pat Valdata
The Poet's Toolkit workshop will focus on one of the primary tools of the poet's trade: the line break. We'll explore how to make our poems more effective through the careful placement of line breaks, with plenty of examples and how-to tips. We will have time to write and time to read and comment on one poem from each participant. Helpful handouts will also be provided.
If possible, please submit a poem for workshopping at least 24 hours before the workshop.
Cost: $25

6. Time to Write: A Poetry Workshop for Moms
Sunday August 7th, 1:00-4:00pm
Location: Private home in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, PA
Register by August 1st at squareup.com/store/hila-ratzabi/.
Scribbling fragments in the middle of the night. Jotting down lines on a smart phone while breastfeeding. Squeezing in a moment of reflection between paid work and caregiving. Such is the life of a mom trying to maintain some time and space for poetry in a chaotic world. Put your hectic life on pause and nurture yourself with a poetry workshop specifically designed for moms. We will join together in meditation, free writing, and reading poems that touch on themes of motherhood and the self. You will leave this workshop with poem drafts, a fresh commitment to your creative soul, and ideas for keeping your writing practice alive within a busy schedule. Food and drink will be provided. Workshop led by Hila Ratzabi.
