What if a poem could be more than imagery or fun metaphors—what if it could be a letter to someone (or something)? In this dynamic workshop, students will explore epistolary poetry, a powerful form of writing that blends storytelling, emotion, and personal reflection. Led by Los Angeles-based writer, arts administrator, and feminista, Ariadne Makridakis Arroyo.
