Found Word Objects Workshop with Award-winning Visual Poet Natalie Damjanovich-Napoleon

Workshop Description:
Since the time of the Dada artists and Beats, poets have been using found word objects to create poems and make cut up collage poems, or centos. Natalie Damjanovich-Napoleon will display her skills as a published found poetry artist to show writers unexpected ways of experiencing and creating poetry using found objects, or in our case, found words in the creation of new work.
