Join local poet, Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña for a poetry workshop exploring the deep wonder around us. No creative writing experience required.

Everyday habits and commonplace occurrences may appear as mundane realities or menial, and therefore deficient raw material for writing poems. Yet, upon closer inspection, there is sometimes a quiet opportunity for wonder, a sudden recognition, or a glimpse at the ineffable to be found there. Join Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña for a poetry workshop that will explore this potential. We will read poems, discuss what we find, and spend time writing.

Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña is a southern Nevada writer and educator. She leads poetry and art workshops in her local community. Her poems have been published in Sagebrush to Sandstone: A Humanities Guide to Outdoor Nevada, Nevada Public Radio’s Desert Companion, 300 Days of Sun, and is forthcoming in The Book of Life After Death: Essays & Poems. Her poetry collection, Bougainvillea, is available through Tolsun Books.

This program is part of our Poetry Palooza series celebrating National Poetry Month.
