In Celebration of National Poetry Month in April, join us for a workshop with spoken word artist and page poet Kelsey Bigelow. Kelsey will walk us through methods for writing poetry as a coping tool for managing our mental health through life’s heaviness. From free writing and responding to prompts to observing your situation and trying a poetic form, poetry can help you process and manage your emotions.
