Poetry Month is right around the corner and we have an All star line up for you! Join us every Saturday in April between 1:30-3pm for Poetry workshops run by local Poets! This will all culminate into a Poetry Showcase/ Book Launch April 30th 6:30-8pm Hosted by Dasha Kelly Hamilton, for " A Line Meant"
"The 'A Line Meant Commemorative Collection' features 60 poets from across the state and a set of found poems written by Dasha Kelly Hamilton, Wisconsin Poet Laureate Emerita and anthology editor. In this poetry anthology, Kelly Hamilton has solicited cosmopolitan voices across the state, from established poets to farmers, retirees, inmates, and more. Starting with single lines of existing poetry, participants not only crafted their own unique works, but also shared their poems and insights as a form of connective tissue with one another. Like a tree from many roots, A Line Meant threads together both the professional and hobbyist poet, growing new, powerful art from the margins between. "
