During each eight-week workshop series, an hour one Sunday is dedicated to the guest poet for that series. These amazing poets read their work, answer our questions, and leave us with a prompt to write on. A limited number of spots are also available for people outside the workshop group to join. Several days prior to the poet visit, participants receive a packet of poems highlighting the poet’s work and are invited to submit questions for the guest. It is a unique and rare opportunity to be in casual conversation with accomplished writers within an intimate setting.
