Greg Lobas will lead a virtual writer’s workshop titled: “Writing Your Life into Poetry.”
“Write what you know” is one of the first and best maxims for the aspiring writer. But what if “what you know” is ordinary, even mundane? This workshop will look at ways to mine the gold that is in everyone’s life and turn it into poetry. It may take some digging. It may take a little change in perspective. But it is there, and it is material only you can use. We will focus on the narrative poem as a means of story-telling but will consider the lyric poem as well.
This workshop is open to writers of all skill levels and is a fun way to find inspiration from a new prompt or revise current work. It is hosted by the Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara and will Zoom for the virtual connection. Sign up to attend the workshop at workshop here:
Greg Lobas has been published extensively as both an outdoor writer and a poet. His debut book, Left of Center, won the 2022 Dogfish Head Poetry Prize, and placed second in the Delaware State Press Association awards. The book deals with his real life experiences as a fire captain and paramedic. His poems have been published in many journals. He is an experienced poetry workshop facilitator at Isothermal Community College.
Greg lives with his wife Meg and his dog Sophie in Polk County North Carolina.

Spartanburg Regional’s Virtual Care Clinic is an excellent way to enhance health care to employees.
It is a quick, convenient, and cost-effective way to receive quality care without the need to miss work or travel to see a doctor. Patients can communicate with a medical professional from their mobile device or computer from work, home, or car.
Offering this service to employees can be as simple as posting information on a bulletin board or in a breakroom without a formal partnership or contract.
Business leaders are invited to join us during their lunch hour to learn more about the benefits of virtual care, the types of appointments available and the various telehealth services offered. Experience an appointment demonstration and take the opportunity to ask the team questions.
See a full list of conditions treated through virtual care appointments.
