THE PRESENTERS
Ellen
S. Jaffe writes
poetry, fiction, and plays for young people and adults. Her y/a novel "Feast of Lights" won
the Moonbeam Gold Medal Award in 2007 for Multi-Cultural Fiction. She has received several grants for teaching
and for artists-in-education from the Ontario Arts Council, works with Learning/Living Through the Arts,
and has taught in schools from inner-city Toronto to Moose Factory in Northern
Ontario. She has judged several writing contests for young people. Ellen is currently working on a second
young-adult novel and on a collection of poetry to be published by Guernica
Editions in 2014. She likes to help each
person find his or her own voice in writing, and learn to enjoy playing with
words.
We will explore ways to turn outer and
inner experiences into
meaningful poems. You will find ways to
develop your own voice,
whether in form or free verse. And we’ll see how writing can be fun, too!
All writers welcome, including those who
have never written a poem before! You are never too young or too old to write
poetry.

ARTFUL POETRY

Poetry activities. In this workshop art will flow from poetry and poetry will
flow from art.
