Did you know that writing a poem is as simple as writing out your "to do" list? Not only that, but the unsung "List Poem" is your generous gateway to your creativity, inspiring endless flow on the page that will keep you writing for days! In addition to being fun, simple, and creative, List Poems make exquisite stand-alone poems and can also provide outline and inspiration, revealing hidden rich enlivening details for your new and existing creative writing pursuits, such as your memoir, novel, book of poems and more. 

Open to non-writers and new and longtime writers across the genres, this class explores the list poem and other short forms to inspire longer pieces, prompts, insight into where you are stuck or can't remember, both on and off the page. Additionally, list poem practice is a wonderful way to get outside your daily thinking mind and access the depths and breadth of your heart, your imagination, your consciousness, strength, vulnerability, and your body, rewarding you with endless internal wisdom, joy, surprises and gifts you never knew you had!
