Lost in Words 2nd Edition

Within the University of Aruba community there are many Poets who have not come forward as yet. Students, lecturers and staff have been writing works of art for weeks, months and even years but have never shared them with the world. There may be aspiring Poets who never thought of writing for an audience.
In 2020 the first Lost in Words evening was organized with the objective of encouraging the writers to step up and step out.

During the Second Edition of Lost in Words, Jen Ross will inspirationally share how to write and publish a collection of poetry. This will be followed by a moment for all present to individually create poems. Towards the end of the evening everyone will have the opportunity to share poems they have written yesterday or yesteryear in any language under the sun. Take them with you! Luciano Milliard will guide the evening.
