SUMMARY:LIVE All Up In Your Feels\, a poetry workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nJoin poets and partners JESSICA JACOBS and NICKOLE BROWN in a poetry workshop to get “All Up In Your Feels.” \nFor all you lonely hearts\, flaming hearts\, celebrators (or detesters) of Valentine’s Day\, this generative workshop focuses on the difficult art of writing about love. We’ll draw inspiration from poems by Traci Brimhall and Dorianne Laux before turning your own hand to the page to write of eros but free from its sappy\, chocolate-dipped clichés—or conversely\, to write about heartbreak or downright lack of love with nuance and grace. Open to writers of all levels\, this session is a solid choice for anyone wanting to write about love in any genre\, and we hope that you’ll leave with some strategies that will help you address one of the heart’s most pervasive conundrums. There will be opportunities to write (and possibly share your newfound lines) during our time together\, so come ready and willing to play.  Authors’ Website \n \n\n \n  \nPurchase books from our official bookseller\, Scuppernong Books\, by clicking book image above. \nJESSICA JACOBS is the author of Take Me with You\, Wherever You’re Going (Four Way Books)\, one of Library Journal’s Best Poetry Books of the Year and winner of the Devil’s Kitchen Reading Award and Goldie Award.
