Poetic Justice Workshop
Free, registration required
Facilitated by Nicky Nicholson-Klingerman
The Poetic Justice Workshop explores poetry that addresses cultural, communal, or global traumas challenges. Covering works ranging from Langston Hughes to Taylor Byas, this is an opportunity to learn how to express yourself to inspire – or hold accountable – your community.
Portland Book Festival youth writing workshops are recommended for ages 14+. Workshops are free to attend but require a festival wristband (free for youth) and registration in advance. Please register by purchasing a free ticket below.
