Main Library Community Room

High school students and seniors (ages 55+) are invited join Altadena Libraries for the Altadena Poets Laureate Ode to the Land Writing the Heritage Poem Workshop with poet Shonda Buchana.

 

Culture and heritage can be found in the rituals, sayings, religious practices or ceremonies your family kept, or in some cases, ignored. Using the senses and sensory details in this workshop, we will construct/write a heritage poem by unearthing and uncovering those memories hiding and locked in our everyday words, actions, interactions, and our conversation.
