LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - A class was held on a not-so-known poetry type in Lima.
Held at the Artspace in Lima, adults were given the opportunity to learn more about the artistic side of history. The lecture, taught by poet Laurin Wolf, was about broadside poems, a type of poetry that is one sided and contains another aspect of media with it. The students of the adult class were able to bring their favorite poem, or one they wrote themselves, and create their own broadside.
"They were protest poems, or political. A lot of collector's items. The combination of the visual art and the words make it multimedia, so then you have options to collaborate with other artists, maybe, or express in a different way," says Laurin Wolf, Allen County Poet Laureate.
By holding this class, it teaches locals more about art, underrated poetry, and history, making the hands-on experience a night to remember.
