A wonderful outlet : Aldrich workshop shows poetry is for everyone
FacebookTwitterEmail
Barbara Jennes firmly believes that anyone can write poetry.
“And not just an awful poem,” adds Jennes, Ridgefield’s poet laureate and an educator at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield. “You can write wonderful poems. It just takes time.”
Jennes has taught poetry workshops and poetry camps at the Aldrich for some time, but starting in June, she began teaching an online poetry workshop, called the Virtual Poetry Playshop, which is free and open to all ages. The workshop happens monthly and the latest installment takes place from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16. Its theme is “Mood and Muse.”
