Poet’s Companion Writing Group
June 4-June 25, 2021, Fridays from 2-3pm on Zoom
Each session of this four-week workshop will focus on exploring a different writing prompt, allowing us to take time to write separately before coming together to share what we’ve written. Working from the book The Poet’s Companion by Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux, we’ll aim to spark ideas for more in-depth poems as we support and encourage each other. This hour-long workshop is geared toward writers of all levels. Poet and journalist Kristin D’Agostino currently teaches writing at New England College. Her work has been featured in The Paterson Literary Review, on Poets Online and on Vermont Public Radio.
Cost: $32 through Charlotte Senior Center. Email me at k.dagostino@gmail.com for more information or to sign up.
