Poetic Underground Cliche and Malaphor Workshop

  • Blip Roasters 1301 Woodswether Road Kansas City, MO, 64105 United States (map)

Poetic Underground presents:

Cliche and Malaphor: We'll burn that workshop when we get to it

Poems getting boring? Feel like every line you write is another cliché? Need something to spice up your rhymes? Then this workshop is for you! We will be exploring how we can turn well known clichés, metaphors, and idioms into new and exciting phrases. There will be an extra emphasis on the use of malaphor, a humorous linguistic tool that should be in every writer's arsenal!

Facilitated by Evris Oake, this workshop is focused on generating new work, and will run from 6pm-7:15pm.
No cover.

Feel free to stick around after the workshop for our Open Mic, which starts at 8pm!

'Poetic Underground is dedicated to using poetry as a healing and community building tool to create a brave space where artists can gather in Kansas City.'
