Writing Together: A Time to Meet Other Poets and Get Some Writing Done
Learn more and register for free at Eventbrite.
This free event is intended to help you mark out a little time on your calendar for writing and meeting other poets. Don’t let the word “poet” here be intimidating: writers of all abilities, including beginners, are welcome. The only requirement is that you’d like to try writing alongside poets and that you come ready to support others.
How it works: we’ll say hello, I’ll bring a short reading to set the right mood, and then for the majority of the session each of us will work on whatever writing project we’d like. I usually provide a simple prompt as well. Then there will be ten minutes at the end where people can optionally share what they’re working on (either by actually reading their work aloud, or just describing what they accomplished) and/or generally have some time to connect.
Agenda (40 minutes total):
- 5 minutes of introduction
- 25 minutes of silent writing time (microphones off, video optional)
- 10 minutes at the end to share what we’ve written (optional, with feedback focused on being supportive), ask questions of the group, and connect
Dates: Every other Wednesday at 8:15 PM and every other Friday at 12:00 PM (all times Eastern/New York time). Follow the Eventbrite link to see the start times in your time zone.
