Using AMP’s extraordinary mural as muse, participants are invited to stretch their imaginations and explore the potential of others.
We’ll warm-up with a viewing/discussion of three incredible examples of persona poetry to help inspire our writing and our pens, and then dive into writing our own pieces.
There will be time at the end for sharing out loud. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻…
