In conjunction with the natural history museum at CU/Boulder, I'm offering a Beetle Poetry Workshop. Here are the details.

BEETLE-MANIA!
BEETLE-INSPIRED CREATIVE WRITING FOR EVERYONE

Wednesday, October 24, 2012  •  7:00 pm
In the BioLounge at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History (Boulder Campus).
Free! Call 303.492.6892 to register or email cumuseum@colorado.edu.

Join writer and former C.U. instructor Ellen Orleans (that would be me)  for a playful, exploratory writing workshop inspired by the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History’s Beetles exhibition. Though inquiry-based learning, create and share work in response to the thousands of beetles on display in the BioLounge. Experiment with techniques that include writing query prose, Double E poems, list poems, even beetle-shaped poems.

I've included the KGNU spot for it as well. Mainly because it's funny to hear a radio announcer say "Beetle-shaped poems."
