I Am Fall: A Writing Workshop for All Ages with poet Matthew J Friday

Imagine Fall had a personality and could express itself. What would Fall say? If we asked Fall to tell us about the sounds, sights, smells and tastes it creates in the world around us, what would Fall tell us? In this family writing workshop, Matthew Friday will guide writers of all ages to generate ideas about Fall using the senses. Then he will show how to use the skill of personification (making an inanimate object or concept act and talk as if it is a person) to bring Fall to life. This workshop is suitable for writers of all ages, from absolute beginners to practising poets. Matthew has taught K-8 students, and currently teaches Grade 3. This workshop is perfect for families to attend and work together – adults and children sharing ideas and a love for writing! Come and have fun creating a voice for Fall!

This workshop is sliding scale $0-$10, pay what you can! All donations go to Matthew. No RSVP required, just come!

Followed by a poetry reading featuring Matthew’s new book The Residents at 6:30 pm.
