SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:HS Student Workshop: Poetry from the Inside Out  with InsideOUT Writers 
DESCRIPTION:L.A. County High School Students -&nbsp\;What are the versions of you kept hidden inside? Inspired by Charles Bukowski&rsquo\;s poem Bluebird\, this poetry workshop invites participants to explore the emotions\, dreams\, fears\, and strengths they don&rsquo\;t always show the world. Through creative writing and discussion\, we&rsquo\;ll read Bukowski&rsquo\;s poem\, hear powerful examples written by other young people\, and create our own version of the &ldquo\;blue bird&rdquo\; that lives in our hearts. This is a space to write freely\, connect with others\, and discover how poetry can turn personal experiences into art. No writing experience necessary!&nbsp\;Monica Vega\, InsideOUT Writers&nbsp\;Monica Vega is the Director of Advocacy and Youth programs at InsideOut Writers (IOW)\, a nonprofit that serves system-impacted and formerly incarcerated youth and adults.
