Poetry Writing Monthly Workshop

Please join Krystle Griffin at Starr Garden for a monthly two hour long poetry workshop. Open to all skill levels as it will include a variety of reviews, styles, prompts and group activity. The only thing you’re required to bring is yourself as materials will be provided. However, feel free to bring any materials you want from home if you wish. If you would like to submit one poem ahead of time, you can email: [email protected] This will give your instructor an idea of what your voice and style is like. Please also note if you do or do not consent to it being shared with the group. The goal of this workshop is to both help understand poetry a little more and to have you leave inspired. Krystle would love for everyone to leave with material to go home and write with.

This monthly event serves as a way to keep learning, growing, working on your craft and providing feedback and community. Krystle is also always open to emails for feedback.
