Pressure Makes Diamonds | Poetry Workshop with Joseph Coleman
Saturday, April 25 • 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
@ Freeport Community Library
In this workshop, “Pressure Makes Diamonds,” students will use the pressure of workshopping an original poem and then reading that poem at an open mike that same evening. The instructor will provide prompts and each student will get a typewriter if they would like to experience what it was like pre computers. As a Barnum and Bailey Ring Master would yell out when a rogue elephant dashed for the exits: “The Show Must Go On!” or in this case: “Poems Must Be Read!”
