Poetry Launch, with Joan Logghe, Santa Fe Poet Laureate

Event Description

Learn how the language of poetry can naturally lead writers of all genres into language that is precise, imagistic, and vivid.  The workshop will give participants an opportunity to play with poetics, building unique and compelling images, condensing for greater effect, and more.

Joan Logghe, City of Santa Fe Poet Laureate, has been an integral part of New Mexico’s Poetry Renaissance.  A life in poetry began for Logghe when she volunteered at her children’s school thirty years ago.  She has taught at Ghost Ranch Abiquiu, University of New Mexico-Los Alamos, Santa Fe Community College, Santa Clara Pueblo Day School, Vienna, Croatia, and WORDHARVEST Writers Workshops.  Her many books include What Makes a Woman Beautiful, Twenty Years in Bed with the Same Man (a finalist for a Western States Book Award), and Greatest Hits: Love & Death.
