Want to attend?

Our goal is to share our poems so that we can fine tune them and submit them for publication and/or poetry readings.

Normally, the poets bring a poem of their choice for critique. But if you don't have something and need some inspiration, how about writing about "home".

Please BRING ENOUGH COPIES for everyone. This is a PARTICIPATORY workshop - not for sitting in and listening only! Read more
