Poetry Perspectives
Poet Athena Kildegaard facilitated a discussion of her most recent book, Ventriloquy, talking about the genesis of each sequence of poems and leading a discussion about the book. She then led a poetry writing workshop, again reading from her most recent book. She talked about the process of writing and about the value of poetry today, as well as introducing participants to a variety of ways to start writing poetry, including other poems as a model.
