In honor of Día De Los Muertos, explore the comedic and poetic mischief of a calavera poem, a traditional, Mexican form of poetry that uses satire to create humorous pieces about the living.
In this two-session workshop, we will learn the history of the calavera poem, compose our own Day of the Dead creations, and use literary devices to take our piece to the next level.
This course is open to writers of all skill levels, 18+.
WORKSHOP DATE: Tuesday(s), October 1 & 8, 2024, 6:30-8:30 pm CST, in-person at Gemini Ink
