Step into a reflective, creative one-hour lunch workshop with writer Gina Drellack, designed to help you explore your voice through poetry. Using the picture book Where We Come From and a simple, guided bio poem structure, you’ll shape words around who you are, what matters to you, and what you’re becoming.
No writing experience needed. Come to this inclusive space for insight, expression, and connection. Leave with a written piece that captures a moment of who you are. Bring your own lunch and preferred writing materials. Paper and pens will be available.
Gina Drellack is a writer, educator, and creator of contemplative arts experiences who guides others in exploring their creative voice through reflective and expressive writing. She is the author of This Time, Glide and Blood Poems: Unraveling and Re-Weaving the Lineage and teaches creative writing and self-expression for adults. Currently, she is writing You Are the Reason I Drink (And Other Stories I Used to Tell Myself). You can find her at ginadrellack.com
Individual Artist Project Grant is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
