Acclaimed Poet Yolanda Wisher Will Lead Workshop

Celebrate National Poetry Month with a poetry workshop led by former Philadelphia Poet Laureate Yolanda Wisher on April 4.

Poet Yolanda Wisher

An accomplished poet and musician, Wisher will invite participants to reflect on their experiences and surroundings through poetry. Words and phrases generated during the session may be gathered and incorporated into a future musical installation on the arts trail.

Some participants may also be invited to read their work aloud for recording. These recordings may later be woven into a musical composition created by Wisher and musicians.

The workshop will take place at 11:30 a.m. at Lafayette College’s Williams Visual Arts Building, 243 N. 3rd St., Easton, PA 18042.

The program is supported in part with funding from the Hotel Tax grant programs through Northampton County’s Department of Community & Economic Development, a Crayola Community Grant, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency, through the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts.
