Join us on July 10, 2024 at 5 p.m. for a fun and insightful workshop with local author and poet Lalit Kumar on imagining and constructing poetry around nature and adventure!
The objective of the workshop is to introduce the audience to adventure/outdoor related poetry and inspire them to see how Nature & Adventure is good for their health and equally nourishing to the soul. Lalit will draw upon my personal experiences of mountaineering, motorcycling, marathon etc. and also writing poetry related to the topics.
In this workshop you will begin to explore your own creative writing through poetry, start a nature and adventure poem of your own, and have the opportunity to share your work at the end of the workshop.
