About the event:
As April is National Poetry Month, and to follow-up on the Spring 2023 Speaker Series theme of “Sighs into Songs,” let us come together on the evening of Tuesday, April 11, at 7:00-8:30 EST to lengthen our sighs into songs. We’ll look at some poems by poets who have done just that, poets who have made art out of their questions, disappointments, losses, and longings, and see just how they did that, how applying craft to personal experience can turn it into song.
