About this Event

Meet at the corner of Ash and 17th at noon.

We will go on a short walk around the neighbourhood and then go indoors for a time of checking in, writing poetry, and reading our poetry aloud. Finger snapping encouraged!

You are welcome to participate to the extent that you feel comfortable and are able.

No writing experience necessary, but an open mind helps!

The purpose is not to create "brilliant" art, but to enjoy the process of slowing down, getting fresh air, and tapping into our innate creativity in the company of others.

Feel free to bring your own paper & pen, but supplies will also be provided.

Happens rain or shine! Kids are welcome (my own little one may join if she's not napping).

For more information or to say you're coming, visit wendyliworks.ca or email Wendy at [email protected].
