Poetry Workshop Facilitated by Holly Sinclair
Wednesday May 7th, 2025 from 6-8PM
A poetry workshop that gives writers a chance to share their work and receive constructive feedback within a welcoming, supportive community. Open to poets & writers 18+. Our goal is to feel heard and inspired as we dig into the craft of poetry together. Let’s celebrate and refine our work!
Poems and short fiction on any subject are welcome at this workshop. While you do not have to open up your work to feedback or comment on other writers’ work, we do encourage you to participate to the level you feel comfortable. Each session will also begin with prompted silent writing time and end with a reflection of what we gained through constructive feedback.
