Get to the root of the words in a poem for a fresh view of language.
CANCELLED. WE REGRET THE INCONVENIENCE.
It's all about the words. Workshop participants will dig into the etymology of the words of an existing poem. You will then use the results of this excavation as “jumping off points” to create an exciting, new poem. This method unleashes a fresh view of familiar language and encourages associative mental leaps and productive tangents. Please bring: a dictionary or an electronic device to aid in your etymological exploration, or use one of the library's laptops.
Melanie Murphy is an MFA candidate in the Northeastern Ohio Master of Fine Arts program at Kent State University. Her poems have been published in the U.S. in Cutthroat, a Journal of the Arts, Bordersenses, a Bilingual Literary Journal, and in the U.K. in the anthology, The Chronicles of Eve.

The City of South Euclid will conduct a resurfacing project on South Green Road between Mayfield Road and Cedar Road that we anticipate will result in travel delays. The resurfacing project is expected to begin Monday, April 3, 2023, and continue through late fall. During that time, we encourage all visitors to the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch of Cuyahoga County Public Library to plan accordingly and allow themselves ample travel time. The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch will remain open for normal hours of operation during construction.
