Hermit Crab Writing Workshop In-Person
Join Open Mic First Friday poet, Joyce Hayden for a special writing workshop! Please register as space is limited.
Hermit crabs are not suited to one shell for life. They constantly seek their optimal environment, one that allows them to grow as they need to. Sometimes, in order to tell a difficult or vulnerable story, a unique “form” or structure must be found to contain the specific content. In this workshop, participants will together create a series of possible found forms for poems they may be interested in trying, such as field guide entries, a course syllabus, or a college application. A focus on consciously combining specific form and content will allow participants a deeper connection to the themes they choose to explore. Participants will be provided with sample hermit crab poems for guidance, time to write, and an opportunity to share their new poem and discuss their writing experience.
