In celebration of National Poetry Month, please join UMGC Europe’s Military Community Writers (MCW) for a no-cost virtual or face-to-face creative writing workshop led by poet Mervyn Seivwright.

Workshop Description

A Dimensional Journey: A Workshop Focusing the Sensory Layers When Writing

How do you change the reader experience? Pull the reader in with more than their eyes. This workshop examines Pablo Neruda, Mary Oliver, and Robert Hayden’s work. It analyzes the way they, as poets, use sensory imagination to add depth to their work, followed by a free writing exercise with the intended use of sensory words. This experience can be used in poetry and prose writing forms.
