About this plan
If you love poetry, this plan in Bogota is for you. Biblioteca Pública La Victoria opens its doors for a workshop where words turn into images and images into feelings.
The idea is simple and powerful. Stop naming things as they are and start naming them as you feel them. Through metaphor and anaphora, attendees explore the city through the senses and write their own verses.
The session includes readings from poets like José Asunción Silva, María Mercedes Carranza, and Piedad Bonnet. These readings become a starting point for writing your own poems. The experience is built for anyone who wants to approach literature through creative writing.
