Join us for a special Poetry Month Bread & Poetry workshop with bestselling author and poet Megan E. Freeman, whose signature novel-in-verse storytelling has captivated readers of all ages.

Are you intrigued by the many novels in verse finding their way into the marketplace? Have you experimented with poetry or contemplated writing a verse novel? In this workshop, we will explore differences between writing in verse and prose, look at a variety of verse novel mentor texts, and play with possibilities for your own work.
