As part of the 7th Annual Spokane Writers Conference, this workshop will teach participants how to perform their poetry.
Sarah Rooney, poet and creator of the Speak Easy open mic, will show participants how to perform your poetry. Emphasize your lyricism, rhythm, and allusions with these performance tricks to bolster your stage presence.
The Spokane Writers Conference is an annual two-day event organized by Spokane County Library District and Spokane Public Library. All workshops are free and open to the public.
