Description of workshop: 99 to 1 Thomas Edison said, "genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration." But how do we get to the one percent's pay-off more quickly without hurting ourselves or those around us? In this workshop we will work up a figurative sweat! I'll walk you through exercises that will help you harness inspiration when it strikes, while still taking care of ourselves and others. Come ready to give your creativity the work out of its life. Dungy's poems have been published in Best American Poetry, The 100 Best African American Poems, the Pushcart Zoom links will be forwarded after registration.
