Words, scraps, a bit of glue, and magic!

Inspired by blackout poetry and mixed media collage, junk poetry is all about finding and creating meaning out of scraps. Join local poet Dina Klarisse for an evening of creating poems from the unexpected!

Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring and share collage material.
