MoSt Summer Poetry Workshop–Using Your Voice: Reading Poems Aloud to Share Their Essence

MoSt Summer Poetry Workshop——Salida Library——June 13, 2026——1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

 Using Your Voice:  Reading Poems Aloud to Share Their Essence

  How do we let the language in a poem come alive and share its truths when we read it aloud?  How do we create an energy that lets people want to listen?  (Hint:  practice, practice, practice…). Join MoSt board member Gary Thomas for this generative workshop writing poetry drafts while exploring a poem’s voice and our voices——without using “Poet Voice.”  Intrigued?  Writing supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your favorite pen, pad, tablet, and vocal warmups!
