Poems of Place Writing Workshop Session 1

Connection, Landscape, and Memory
This two-part workshop at the Park County Senior Center, held on Monday, April 27 and May 4 from 5:30 – 7 pm, invites participants to explore how personal memory and the landscapes we inhabit shape our sense of connection—to place, to others, and to ourselves. Through guided prompts, short readings, and generative writing exercises, we will reflect on meaningful places and moments from our lives, using sensory detail and imagery to bring memory to life on the page. The workshop will include time for writing, optional sharing, and supportive discussion in an open and creative environment.
No creative writing or poetry experience is necessary; all are welcome! Feel free to join one or both sessions of this two-part series.
