Join us for a fun evening of writing exercises, brainstorming, and discussion.
Led by professional writers, our monthly, 90-minute workshops provide unique opportunities for you to develop your craft and make connections with other local creatives. Everyone is welcome—no experience necessary.
This month, we welcome and celebrate the new season. We'll find inspiration in poems by Nikki Giovanni and others and draw upon memories, senses, place, and images to write poems that bask in summertime joy. Come write with us!
Registration is required.
