About this Event

Your story needs to be told. Poetry may be the best way for you to turn your memories into meaning. Participants will explore thoughts, memories and emotions, then learn to turn them into powerful words. Personal stories often make the best poems. BTW, they do not have to rhyme. The project’s theme is Perseverance and Resilience, something vets know about.
