This three hour poetry workshop will include readings of poems by Judith Partelow, discussion about different approaches to writing poems, and then creating something of one's own that they may share if they wish. By the end of the workshop, it is hoped everyone will feel a little more comfortable in setting their thoughts, memories and/or emotions down in words. It will be a very supportive environment and people with or without experience in writing poetry are encouraged to attend! Judith Partelow's book: Passion & Provocation, Selected Poems by Judith Partelow will be available for sale and signing. ($20). See website: judithpartelow.com

Registration is required as space is limited!
