Writing and reading poetry is a rapidly spreading health practice—reading poetry is even “prescribed” by some physicians. Consider then attending “The Power of Writing about Illness,” a free workshop led by Karin B. Miller, editor of two national anthologies, The Cancer Poetry Project, on Saturday, March 19, 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Participants will consider a wide variety of poems from The Cancer Poetry Project, brainstorm poetry ideas, and get started writing a few. To register your interest, email “Writing about Illness” in the subject line to emcucc@emcucc.org. Each class limits the number of registrations, so sign up soon. All classes are held at Edina Morningside Community Church, 4201 Morningside Road, Edina.
