About this Event
The Chicago Poetry Center presents the Blue Hour generative writing workshop.
The Blue Hour generative writing workshop suits 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 at 7:30, followed by community gathering time.
The facilitator and host for November 21st 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 free, and workshop donations 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.
