About This Event
- Event Type:Classes
This 8-week generative writing series is a space to explore your literary curiosities! Each week we read different poets or short form writers then explore writing portals that allow us to dive into our own stories. Writing is an expressive act that brings joy into our lives, connects us to each other, and helps us process the human experience in all its hilarity and complexity. Reading, writing, and connecting enhance our overall wellness and spark wonder about the human journey. No previous attendance, background in writing, love or understanding of poetry is necessary to join us and no literary enthusiasts will be turned away!
