The five-session workshops are a part of the Binghamton Poetry Project, a literary outreach program of the Binghamton Center for Writers that aims to educate youth and adults in reading and creative writing.
Participants will learn poetic techniques and will explore various types of poetry. They will also read published poems and will be encouraged to share original work with each other for encouragement and feedback.
Each workshop will last about an hour at the Broome County Public Library located at 185 Court Street in Binghamton.
