Poetry Workshop, May 26, 2013, at WHITE CENTER Library

The pleasure was mine--to facilitate a poetry workshop in White Center at the King County Library. 

Three questions triggered amazing written responses uniting a small group of writers on a Saturday afternoon. 

What lessons did you learn as a child that are still with you as you reflect to an earlier time?

Generated by last line in the poem, The School at San Gabriel Dam.

When have you found yourself in a cultural context you did not fully understand such that you knew there was much you did not know and passed by?  Generated by last line in, My Daughter, English Teacher in South Korea.

What is the thing that only now you can see?  Generated by last line in, Old Photo.

So thank you--sharing our writing requires vulnerability and courage.
