14th Open Thursday Series: Poetry Writing Workshop

Department of Croatian Language and Literature

At the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek, Matej Gabud, a second-year graduate student of English and Croatian Language and Literature, will hold a poetry writing workshop. Although poetry occupies a marginal position in contemporary literature, it possesses an undeniable healing quality and serves as a reminder of human vulnerability and the power of language. Join us for this relaxed poetry workshop, which will open its doors to everyone willing to look within themselves. Anyone interested in creative expression is welcome to attend, including those who are not students. We look forward to seeing you at 6:00 p.m. in the Small Ceremonial Hall (Room 39) at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek (Lorenza Jägera 9).
