Through instruction, conversation and writing prompts, Lynnell will inspire us to write our own poems. She will inspire us by using Ada Limón poetryLimón is our brand-new US Poet Laureate, and she is a resident of Lexington.

Participants can expect to sharpen their understanding of what makes a poem a poem. We will draft poems that engage transformative life experiences. We’ll develop strategies for revision.  For more information about Lynnell Edwards, click here.
