"'Just be yourself': How to write from an adopted persona."

This workshop will provide prompts to encourage writers of prose and poetry to write from the perspective of an adopted persona. Poet Hannah Stone will share some examples of writing from the view point of another person/creature/object and encourage you to do the same. Bring something to write on and your imagination.

You will have the opportunity to share what you have written with the group, and in the evening's poetry reading event between 7.30 and 9.30 pm.
