Playing with Words: The Pleasure of Poem-making

Join poet Kathleen Wakefield in a workshop for would-be poets as well as those looking for new ways to get their writing going. No credentials needed! We’ll read some poems as springboards for inspiration and try out some playful “exercises” to stir up the poems inside us. Registration is required for this free workshop.
