Poetry Workshop at Bards Against Hunger

Founded in 2013, Bards Against Hunger has hosted and sponsored poetry events all around the country and beyond with the aim of raising food donations for local pantries and food banks.

Please bring a pen and enough printed copies of a poem with your name on it to workshop. The poem should be a work-in-progress: the rougher, the better.

When we begin, whoever volunteers to go first will hand out copies of his or her poem and read it aloud (reading it aloud is optional, but highly encouraged). The rest of us can take notes on the page and give suggestions for revisions to the piece.

RSVP BY EMAIL ONLY
This event is free, but we need a head count. If interested in coming please email us at:
