Komal Mathew, GT STAC alumna, writing teacher, and poet will meet with WST Lrn C residents and other students over dinner and will conduct a poetry workshop. Any Georgia Tech student is welcome to join, although anyone not living the WST Lrn C should send an RSVP to carol.colatrella@lmc.gatech.edu 

Here is Ms. Mathew's description of the workshop:

Poetry Workshop: Discovering Poems from the Outside In
Did you know writing poems can be as fun as playing a game? In this workshop, I’ll introduce you to three strategies of forming and creating poems: found, erasure, and blackout poetry. We’ll review some examples to discuss the liberties and limitations of these forms—and then we’ll start playing! My hope is that the poet in you leaves the workshop with a poem to share with the world.
