VIRTUAL EVENT
Portland Book Festival hosts a writing workshop taught by Aimee Nezhukumatathil. Lony Haley-Nelson notes: “Wonder is valuable…because it leads us to learn and remember.” Using the language and vocabulary of myth, folklore, science, and natural history as inspiration for poems, this generative workshop will help you jump-start the blank page in front of you. Limited to 40 students; register here.
