MoSt Poetry Workshop Using Your Voice: Reading Poems Aloud to Share Their Essence

How do we let the language in a poem come alive and share its truths when we read it aloud? How do we create an energy that lets people want to listen? (Hint: practice, practice, practice…) . Join MoSt (Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center) board member Gary Thomas for this generative workshop, writing poetry drafts while exploring a poem’s voice and our voices—without using “Poet Voice.” Intrigued? Writing supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your favorite pen, pad, tablet, and vocal warmups! Sponsored by Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center.
