Poetry Expansion Labs are daylong journeys into the associative mind, the senses and poetic expression. Each day begins with an optional meditation practice.  The morning session utilizes exercises from Poetry Everywhere along with writing prompts to creative collaborative and individual poems. Jack Collom leads the morning session and other exercises are led by the Word By Word Journeys coordinators- Kathryn, Virginia, or Emily.  Snacks are served and available all day.   After lunch on your own, there is deeper exploration of voices as well as time to reflect, rewrite and review with others.  The day ends with a poetry circle where participants share their works, which in the past has lead to tears, revelations, laughter, awe and always ends with a strengthened poetic community.
