Refresh! Finding the Unexpected

11:30 a.m. - 12:30 a.m.
Arts Council of York County
In the Lewandowski Classroom
It’s not hard to get into a rut with our writing - not a rut where we can’t write at all - but a time when what we write feels familiar to us; like we have written about similar things in similar ways already.
Join Charlotte Poet Laureate and One Work Keynote Speaker, Jay Ward, to give yourself (and your writing) a much needed refresh. Learn a new language - a new way to immerse yourself into the poem, wind through its maze and feel that exhilarating rush when you finally emerge on the other end.
Age 13+. All levels welcome.
