Every year in the run up to Lummis Day the library hosts a poetry workshop. Sometimes it’s a poetry sharing where local poets read their own work. Sometimes it’s a poetry sharing where participants share the work of poets who mean a lot to them. Sometimes it’s a class where a published poet helps you with the process of writing poems of your own.
In all cases it is an interesting event designed just to get your poetic self buzzing. Although I do not yet know what form this year’s workshop will take I do know it will be on Saturday, May 11 from 3:00 to 5:00. Make plans to join us.
I’ll add more details about the specifics of this year’s plan as I learn about them.
