Poetry as Extreme Sport: A Workshop Riding the Edge of Words

Let’s write outside the margins and between the lines. Join bronwyn preece for an exciting and inviting evening of collaborative and solo practices jumping into the limitless realm of ‘the poem’. Let’s defy norms. No experience necessary. All are welcome (but leave your red roses and blue violets at home)!

Registration is required, and spaces are limited! Email publicservices@whistlerlibrary.ca to sign up.
