Recap: P3: Poetry, Process, Papercraft

We held our P3: Poetry, Process, Papercraft workshop on Friday, Oct 14, led by ATEC MA student, Karee-Anne Rogers. Below you will find some resources shared during the event.

Karee-Anne shared with us experiences of her undergraduate in the social sciences with a minor in creative writing / non-fiction, where poetry was a haven for her. She also invited us into her reminiscences about her great-grandmother Miss Webster, who was her “first best friend.” Miss Webster lived to be 104 years old and had such rich experiences, that Karee-Anne often thinks of the stories Miss Webster told as “six-sided poems.”
