Poetry may be the song of great wordsmiths. It is also the literary tool of the common person. When expectation and intimidation are discarded, everyone can use poetry for self-discovery and self-expression. Unlike other forms of writing, poetry does not require adherence to rules of style, tone, grammar or punctuation nor does it demand intense research to be profound. It simply asks the writer to feel and to tap from within. Motivational speaker and poet Constance Hallinan Lagan presents poetry as the everyday expression of life’s events and one’s emotional response to those events. Each participant enjoys a “light bulb moment” when s/he realizes, “I’m a poet!” Call to register: 516-221-1200.
