“Tell all the truth but tell it slant.” Inspired by the immortal words of Emily Dickinson, come partake in this generative workshop that pairs the visual art form of collage with poetry! Poet and artist Leticia Priebe Rocha guides participants through an exciting process of discovery with different collaging materials and text to create your own hand-crafted collage. You will walk away with seeds of poems, deeper knowledge and experience with a visual art form, and a found poetry technique to help you “tell it slant.” All levels of experience with poetry and visual art are welcome!
