Morrin In Verse: Reading Poetry Workshop
Nov 17 @ 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Join us for another instalment of our Reading Poetry workshops! We’ll answer two simple questions: What are poems made of, and what can they do?

The image you uploaded promotes a Reading Poetry Workshop organized by Morrin. The design features a roller coaster track, symbolizing the ups and downs of reading poetry, with scattered letters forming parts of the word "POETRY" floating around the roller coaster. The graphic has a minimalistic aesthetic with white lines on a grey background, accented with a red square containing the "Morrin" logo.

This workshop aims to give you the tools and vocabulary with which to discuss, think about, and, above all, appreciate poetry.

You can attend the workshop in person or online. Please email library@morrin.org to learn more or to sign up!
