Kalamazoo Poetry Festival Poetry Workshop 6:30pm-8pm
In this workshop, we will explore the power of gratitude through poetry, reflecting on those who have been our support in times of need. Through a process of personal writing, we’ll uncover the metaphors that best capture the impact of these pivotal relationships. This experience will invite you to express your appreciation in a deeply personal way, tapping into emotions of gratitude and connection. Together, we’ll transform these reflections into poems, and then bring them to life by writing them out on beautiful cards—so that you can share your words of thanks with the person who has made a difference in your life. Come prepared to honor the past, celebrate the present, and create something meaningful to share with someone who matters.
