​3 Poetry Workshops, every two weeks, on Zoom.     Tuesdays 4-6 PM

Each session can stand alone…
attendance at previous or subsequent sessions is not necessary.
We will not be recording these sessions.
​
  • The first hour will be reading and discussion of poetry/poems.
  • The second hour will be for writing, based on the poems and discussion of the first hour. 

(Participants do not have to re-register separately for each hour. Someone can decide at the last minute to stick around for the writing part.  Anyone who wants to write should be present at the first hour, however.)

I will organize each session around a theme, though we haven’t decided on the order of them yet .

The three themes will be “Identities”, “Celebration “, and “Cycles.
