Program Description

Event Details

This group meets every other week and focuses on nourishing and sustaining your creative practice. No experience writing or reading poetry? No problem! We'll spend time reading and discussing poetry, as well as writing together in response to prompts chosen to help you amplify your voice. Expect to receive and share meaningful, positive feedback as we affirm what is strong and powerful in our writing. Bring a poem on paper (we can make copies here at the library) no longer than 1 page if you'd like to workshop. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come anytime. Registration requested but drops-in are certainly welcome!
