Poetry Hub Workshop
·OnlineOnlineJoin us at our Poetry Hub Virtual Workshop for a lively discussion of poetry from those of all walks of life. Here, we take a break from the stressful and divisive modern world and celebrate the uniting and reflective power of poetry. At North Florida Poetry Hub, we are continually fostering a space for bravery, power, joy, and comfort. All are welcome!
We encourage attendees to bring a poem. Poets who bring their own poems can choose to receive constructive feedback, but no skill level whatsoever is required! You don't need to be a poet to love poetry, so feel free to bring a previously published poem to share and speak about. Or! Just come to listen and enjoy what others are bringing.
RSVP is required to attend this event. Your RSVP name must match Your ZOOM ID name to be admitted to the Zoom room. Thank you.For the privacy and comfort of all attendees, recording of any kind is not permitted by the attendees during any North Florida Poetry Hub or Hope At Hand virtual or in-person workshop or event.
North Florida Poetry Hub was created by the local nonprofit Hope at Hand, Inc. to support and help the arts flourish for poets, writers and lovers of all things poetic and artistic in the North Florida region.
Hope at Hand provides art and poetry therapy for at-risk youth populations in the Northeast Florida area.
