Sarah St. George is a poet, visual artist, life-long learner and adventurer. Her work has been featured in Alabaster and Mercury Volume 3 and Vext Magazine. She is the host of the Rose City Poetry Series in Norwich CT, where she lives and works with special needs students at Kelly Middle School. Since writing her first poem in middle school, she has been diving deep into the uncharted waters of trauma, loss, healing, the "joys" of parenting preteens, and neurodivergent masking. Writing workshop for neurodivergent people and those who care for them! Sarah's workshop invites participants, ages 12-up, to use all their senses to write about a place where they experience intense emotion--whether it's peace, joy, or even discomfort. She will show basic poetry techniques and encourage writers to reach for fresh imagery. Writers are free to share their work or keep it private. A notebook and pen or pencil are the only things needed. Laptops are fine, too. Vernon's Inaugural Poet Laureate Pegi Deitz Shea will facilitate the workshop and take dictation of poems if writing is a problem.
