Please join us for an inspirational desert poetry writing workshop at The Living Desert! Open to all levels of poets, or aspiring poets, or those who want to use language and words to help embody the unique beauty and inspiration of the desert magic found at this unique site.

This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of poetry, by reading published desert poets' works. We will then embark on our own "hands-on" desert poetry writing activities that will be generated by observation and walk through selected areas of the Living Desert.

Poets will be encouraged to share their on-site works with other participants, and to contribute their finished works for the new desert literary journal, Phantom Seed.

There is a nominal fee for this workshop; please contact the Living Desert to register.
