Thursday, Sept. 24, 6pm 

Instructor: Lori Lee 

Poetry is often generated by memories that haunt us, or memories that pull on our hearts, memories that are too precious not to be recorded - poetry is most often created out of emotion. Join us in this poetry workshop as we explore free verse and narrative poetry. Students are encouraged to bring a photo they want to capture in poetry.

Class fee: FREE; donations gratefully accepted.

Advance registration required.

After 25 years of traveling the state of Utah and enjoying and sharing the natural beauty of the trails and outdoor adventures in guidebooks and magazines, Lori now focuses on the personal narrative. 

She was the host and producer of the Love Your Story podcast, a podcast that ran for eight years and was dedicated to sharing candid interviews and conversations about living our best life stories on purpose. Lori pulled no punches in capturing interviews that shine a light on how we make it through the hard stuff – stress, anxiety, suicide, eating disorders, rape, the death of children, abuse, divorce and the real stuff we have to deal with. But, she also shared interviews with Olympians and incredible athletes, life coaches, therapists, and people who are changing the world. 

She is a published poet, has won awards for her essays, and has a MS in Folklore--her research focusing on the structure and function of personal narrative. She is the author of six books and over 100 magazine and newspaper articles, including her latest, L.I.F.E. – Living Intentional and Fearless Every Day. Her self-help memoir,  The Messy, Divine Business of Becoming is due out in 2028.
