Sense Connections, Lynn Skapyak Harlin

Come join me and paint a picture with words. Use sensory details in imagery to evoke a sensory experience in the reader. Through a guided exercise you will create a poem that plays to the reader’s senses. You’ll provide them with sights, sounds, tastes, smells, touch and show how they connect to memories.

Lynn Skapyak Harlin’s first published poem, “War Waste,” appeared in Time, (December 7, 1970). Her poems have appeared in numerous literary magazines and in three chap books, Press One for More Options, Real Women Drive Trucks (1997), and Age Changes (2017) and in two collections Twists and Turns (2019) and All Shapes and Sizes (2022)
