Exploring Beauty with Cento Poems
January 13, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
In the Cento form, lines from different sources stand next to each other to create new narratives. Because this exercise forces participants to focus closely on their favorite lines from various poems, it helps them understand how the individual parts relate to the whole. In this workshop, we will work with multiple poems to create our own Cento poems on the themes of loving our beautiful selves.
