@benuebook has come to an end, but the memories remain.
Amazing people, amazing conversations, marvelous food thanks to @carlterver our social mapper.
Then that swange dance. Waist still hurts.

Poetry isn’t just about the words; there are structures that give those words their power. These elements shape how a poem is experienced and strengthen its emotional impact, making poetry more than just language, but also an art.

Join us by 4pm on 16th February, as we explore and learn these structures.
