WRITING WITH THE GREEKS
A Workshop with OPN Board Member
​Nathalie Kuroiwa-Lewis

Tuesday, March 12, 2019
7 - 9 pm
Olympia Community Center
​downtown Olympia

Join me in an exciting journey writing with the Greeks.  Here we'll study connections between Carl Jung's theory of archetype and Greek myth in poetry.  We'll see how poets such as Lucille Clifton and Lucia Perillo, among others, play with perspective in Greek myth when they write their poems. We'll use prompts to generate new poems with Greek myth. Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite myths with them.
