Event Details

Each workshop features a different poet who will share their work, offer insight into the craft of writing and sharing poetry, and guide you through a creative writing prompt to help you write a poem of your own. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just curious about poetry, all experience levels are welcome. You'll have the opportunity to share what you've written at the end, but sharing is completely optional. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and enjoy an evening of poetry in the park!
