Poetry Workshop Series - Jasmine Reid

Join us at Flatbush Library for a three-part poetry workshop series. Each session will be taught by a different local poet, providing participants with a range of perspectives. Through generative writing exercises participants will experiment with style and form. Poets are encouraged but not required to attend all three sessions. The workshop will culminate in a reading where participants can share what they have written in the workshops. Space is limited, first come first serve. Registration is required.
