SUMMARY:Workshop: Write Living Newspapers Led by Marjory Wentworth
DESCRIPTION:Register: Register at EventBrite \nSaturday\, April 26 \, 2025 · 10:00 am – 12:00 noon EST\nCost: $45\nLimited to 12 participants\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St Beaufort\, SC 29902 \nWrite Living Newspapers \nLaurence Ferlinghetti wrote\, “If you would be a poet\, write living newspapers.” In this workshop we will consider the ways the occasion poem is often written to document or provide commentary on an event. Sometimes it is intended to be read or performed publicly\, but not necessarily. There are no specific guidelines for occasion poems\, except that they mark a specific occasion or situation. The poems can be long or short\, serious or humorous\, formal or experimental. We will look at several occasion poems together and consider ways we too can “write living newspapers.” \nThis is an in-person writers workshop\, held at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St.). Limited to 12 participants with advance registration required; $45/person. \nLearn more and register at EventBrite \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \nAbout our instructor: \nMarjory Wentworth is the New York Times bestselling co-author of Out of Wonder: Poems Celebrating Poets\, and the author of the prizewinning children’s story Shackles. \nCelebrated for her significant contributions to literature and social justice\, she served as the poet laureate of South Carolina from 2003–2020.

She is also the co-writer with Juan Mendez of Taking a Stand: The Evolution of Human Rights and We Are Charleston: Tragedy and Triumph at Mother Emanuel\, with Herb Frazier and Dr. Bernard Powers\, and co-editor with Kwame Dawes of Seeking: Poetry and Prose inspired by the Art of Jonathan Green. \nAfter receiving a Bachelor of Arts from Mount Holyoke College and a Master of Art in Writing from New York University\, she moved to South Carolina in 1989\, where she taught courses in writing\, social justice\, and banned books at The College of Charleston.
