traveling poetry classes in february 2018 at the other farm & forge & mario's pizza: focusing on memoir & amiri baraka poems.

february's traveling poetry classes will focus on memoir poems as their own approach and the works of amiri baraka who was recommended by one of my students. baraka died in 2014 and is from newark, new jersey.

any topics of creative writing are welcome for sharing and workshopping during class by those who attend, but we have inspirational topics as prompt ideas, too. please bring a few copies to share with other students, if you can, for anything you write and want to practice reading as well as discussing. but just having your original copy to read from is okay, if that's easier for the writer.

during the first class of the month, we'll meet at the other farm & forge (formerly called the other farm brewing company) in boyertown. the second class will be at our recent once-a-month hangout of mario's pizza in boyertown.
