This is a WANTED page. We need more content, images, sources, and links, preferably not just cut-and-paste from an external source. |
I can't find a website for these guys but the program sounds awesome. Run by Bay Area Public School and Zack Haber and Emji Spero.
Press release:
Oakland Youth Poetry Workshop is a series of free workshops where youth can develop their writing in an environment of playful exploration of poetry on the page. These workshops hope to create excitement about poetry, help youth become more confident in their writing, connect youth with the wider Bay Area poetry community, and connect them with an audience for their poetry. No previous experience with poetry is required! These workshops will occur in two five-week-long sessions. We will meet every Saturday for four weeks and have a poetry reading on the fifth Saturday! The work-shops will be led by local Bay Area poets/educators, writing materials will be provided and there will be snacks!
