New Philadelphia Poets present:

A Poetic Obstacle Course!

Sponsored by the Kelly Writers House and Penn Arts Crawl

Friday, November 20

Kelly Writers House

at the University of Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, PA 19104

Get loose and goofy with your words, explore collaborative writing techniques, and learn some fun and fruitful ways to generate and revise text. After we put you through the poetic wringer, you’ll have a finished piece that will surprise and inspire you.

Stop by anytime between 1:00 and 3:00. You can expect to complete your poem in as few as twenty minutes, or as long as two hours—it’s up to you!

If you have some rough material you want to shape up, feel free to bring it—but you can just as easily (and perhaps more entertainingly) start from scratch.

This activity is perfect for beginners and seasoned writers alike. NO POETRY EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
