Death Before Breakfast: A Generative Workshop, with Erica Reid (Summer Poetry Camp)

Forget gentle mornings and quiet sunrises! Fort Collins Co-Poet Laureate Erica Reid will lead writers through three poetic exercises to start the day with a jolt: one with a corpse, one with a tomb, and one with a dawn arcana. The spirit of the workshop is uplifting and creative rather than focused on loss and grief, though all writers, experiences, and styles are welcome.

About Summer Poetry Camp
During July 4th weekend the annual summary poetry retreat will occur at Quonset Hut Hemp Cooperative (39820 CR 19, Fort Collins, CO), with some associated events at Wolverine Farm Publick House (316 Willow St., Fort Collins, CO). Hosted by Beyond Academia Free Skool (BAFS) and as part of the 250th birthday of the country, the theme of the event is “connecting communities.”

Note that the following week, Poetry Camp moves to Boulder (Beyond Academia Free Skool, @beyondacademiafreeskool).
