In coordination with the anthology project, we will also be hosting a free
community poetry workshop on *Saturday, April 26 @2pm at Summit Artspace
(140 E Market St, Akron, OH)*.

*The Ode, with Barbara Sabol*
In this workshop we will briefly review the history of the ode as a form of
lyric praise, discuss
features of the contemporary ode (and anti-ode) with reference to example
poems, and engage in
writing and sharing our own odes.

*Barbara Sabol* was named Ohio Poet of the Year for her collection,
WATERMARK (Alternating
Current Press, 2023.) Her book, IMAGINE A TOWN, won the 2019 Sheila-Na-Gig
Editions
Poetry Prize. Other honors include an Individual Excellence Award from the
Ohio Arts Council.
She conducts workshops through Literary Cleveland and the Cuyahoga Falls
Library. Barbara
lives in Akron, Ohio with her bird carver husband and wonder dog.
