Salisbury Poetry Week: Special Two-Day Teen Writing Workshop on Spoken Word with Fenix Youth Project's Amber Green!

Open to all teens, middle and high school.  Drop in for one day or both!

Are you a poet or a writer and want to try your hand at spoken word poetry? Maybe you’re a regular writer of poetry and just want to try something new and get fresh inspiration. Spoken Words use phrases that project onto the minds of the listeners like vivid images, sounds, actions and other sensations. The workshops will help you create imagery your listeners will see, smell, feel and maybe even taste just by the way you say your words. Even if you are not a writer yet and you want to learn how to get what’s in your head on paper. 

Participants will have an opportunity to read aloud their own poem, after the groups’ interpretation of their poem.

Co-sponsored by ESWA & the Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council.

You do NOT need to download Zoom to attend, but you do need to register to get the Zoom link.  Please note that the Zoom link will be sent to your email inbox 24 hours in advance.
