Join us for a wonderful afternoon of poetry writing with MoSt poet Tom Portwood. Participants will be given the opportunity to read several outstanding examples of the form by noted practitioners and discuss them and how those pieces differ from other types of poetry. As usual, though, the bulk of the time will be dedicated to having attendees begin crafting their own prose poems that afternoon. As always, we would love to hear what’s been written during the session, but only if you feel comfortable doing so.
This program will take place in the Salida Library Community Room.
Games are rated E and E10+.
Please note this event will take place outdoors, weather permitting. Sponsored by Friends of the Modesto Library.

At the age of twelve George saw his first sword swallower and fire eater doing things he was told the human body could not do. So with research and a burning desire to learn, he taught himself how to perform these feats of daring. George is now one of the few sword swallowers in the world. It has been said that George "The Giant" is one of the most complete side show performers around today... and the tallest!
