Alejandro Murguía: The Power of Poetry

Starting with the word and advancing to a complete poem, this workshop, taught by San Francisco’s poet laureate Alejandro Murguía, will focus on poetry for our times. Student poets will be encouraged to channel their rage, anger, politics, doubts, insecurities as well as love and compassion into their poetry—with a bit of irony and humor included. If time allows we will workshop the poems in class. Bring two pencils and paper to write with. For poets of all skill and experience levels.
