What Can A Poem Do? A Generative Workshop, Celebrating Poetic Possibility

April is National Poetry Month, and we're celebrating with this free community workshop. What is poetry, anyway? What can it be, do, say, think, offer to our communities, families, and lives? Join poets Caleb Nichols and Tasia Trevino for a generative workshop that will explore these questions through selected readings and guided writing exercises.

Our workshops are relaxed, fun, and safe spaces to explore poetry in community with others.

Appropriate for all ages and skill levels. RSVP required.
