Here’s what one participant said about his experience:
“My English teacher said be quiet, sit up straight, and write poetry the proper way. I failed…and had to stand in front of the class to be instructed on the “right way.” I went to a Poetry Playshop and recovered – there was no right or wrong. I wrote a poem in my own way and shared it in my own voice. Bravo!” Tom Filcich ~ Recovering English Student & Poetry Lover
“Rompu, rompu la murojn inter la popoloj!
Break, break the walls between the peoples!”
Dr. L.L. Zamenhof (1859 – 1917)
