The Poetry & Performance workshop, led by Darlene L. Witte, works to bridge the gap between poetic words on a page and poetry read aloud. On the first and third Tuesdays of each month, we focus on the work of a feature poet presented live in a Zoom session. The group is invited to respond to the poetry and discuss the work. Sessions then progress to an Open Mic where anyone can share a poem of their own or one they have just taken a liking to.

Darlene Witte
Moving to Vermont in 1993 to become a professor of Education at Northern Vermont University brought her to a landscape far more physically, emotionally, and socially embracing than she knew. Vermont has become her new spiritual home. She blends this new, gentle, land-and-people-scape into her life-long internal vision, and she hopes you enjoy her poetry and workshop.
