Poetry workshop fast-paced, fun

Joan Puma Bennet's poetry workshop in Casper April 28 was a great way to exercise those poetry muscles. Joan gave the participants several prompts with which to start and a time frame to start or complete the poem, usually 3-5 minutes. The morning session alone produced nine poems, with three from the afternoon. Students were asked to read their creations and there were several that were standouts. Joan is fun and informal and the workshop was a great change of pace, inspiring participants to the immediacy of creativity.
