<H2><STRONG>POETRY BOOTCAMP AT HUDSON COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE</STRONG><BR></H2>
<P>Crafting poetry is not just for writers. People from all walks of life can enhance their communication skills, find their voice, step outside their comfort zones, and explore their surroundings by creating pictures with words.</P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>Individuals who want to explore their creative side and learn the skills needed to unlock their imagination can join the “Poetry Bootcamp” at Hudson County Community College (HCCC). The program is 3 sessions long and will be held on Fridays, September 14 and 21, and 28, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the college’s library (71 Sip Avenue) in Journal Square. Space is limited, and the cost is $99 per person.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>The three-day series is designed to help writers generate fresh material, revise their work, and submit polished poems for publication. The instructor, Sarah T. Jewell, is the author of “How to Break Your Own Heart” (Dancing Girl Press - 2017), and has read her poetry at venues such as The New York Public Library and The Cornelia Street Cafe.  An experienced creative writing teacher, she will provide writing prompts to inspire poetry from even the most blocked of writers. Ms. Jewell will also teach about effective poetic techniques, including using metaphors and personas, and give constructive feedback to help with revisions. She will also share individualized recommendations with each student about submitting to literary journals.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>As a member of the Jersey City Arts Council Literary Arts Committee, Ms. Jewell helped launch the first Jersey City Poetry Festival in April 2018. Additionally, she hosted three festival events on behalf of Jersey City Writers.  Samples of her work are available at her website, www.stjewell.com.</SPAN></P>
