About this Event
The Chicago Poetry Center presents the Blue Hour generative writing workshop.
The Blue Hour generative writing workshop is suitable for writers and poetry fans of all levels. We discuss a poem together, then the facilitator guides the group through individual writing on an exploratory prompt that draws on themes from the poem.
The workshop begins promptly at 6 p.m. (arrival encouraged anytime after 5:45 p.m.) and ends at 7 p.m. Participants are invited to attend the open mic and reading that begins at 7:30, followed by community gathering time.
The facilitator and host for October 16th will be Marty McConnell.
You can sign up for one or both portions of the event (workshop and/or reading), but each registration must be completed separately. The reading is completely free, and donations for the workshop are accepted at any level with a suggested minimum of $10. If price is a barrier, please email [email protected] for a no-questions-asked fee waiver.
