MAKING PIES - 6 workshops for the closet poet The work is in part focused on techniques, from rhythm and rhyming, to alliteration and dissonance. At the same time, it is just as much about building confidence and the cohesion of the: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual,...hence the PIES. Participants need only bring themselves, but if you have work, whether complete or in progress, please have it with you. City of Poets promotes everyone as a poet, and considers poetry, like music, to be a unique individual expression, with healing power for individuals and beyond.
