Free poetry workshop with Paulann Petersen
One of the Pacific Northwest’s leading voices, Paulann Petersen, will be sharing her love for poetry this Saturday, March 14th, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Multnomah County Central Library, with a free workshop is entitled ANYONE’S DOMAIN: A BASIC POETRY WRITING WORKSHOP.
While it’s listed as a workshop for beginning writers, the two-hour gathering will be devoted to creating and generating poems, and is open to anyone who wants to write in a supportive, congenial group.
From Paulann: “Poetry is not the domain of just a few. It’s as natural and accessible as heartbeat and breath. Writing poetry requires nothing more than a love of words and a willingness to let your pen move across a page, following language wherever it takes you.”

Quick note about this workshop – I had to leave before it was finished, and I walked out with first drafts of three new poems I wouldn’t have written had it not been for the space Paulann created. Thank you! And for anyone who has a chance to work with Paulann Petersen – just do it.
