Our Poetry Hour - a workshop for mutual aid

Do you want to pause, and take the time to open into poetry? Could your writing life use more attention, experimentation, and inspiration? Do you want to enjoy the power of writing in community?

In this hour, we'll respond to a series of guided visual and poetry prompts that unlock your creativity to generate new ideas, words, and poems.

Participants will come away with 2-3 poem drafts, prompts and exercises that can be returned to again, and a renewed connection to poetry.

*This workshop is suitable for writers of all levels of experience, whether you've written hundreds of poems or none (yet)!
