Presented by Robert F. Piazza

Rekindle your creative fire! Poets of all levels, from beginner to advanced, come together to read, write, and recite. Emily Dickinson’s sister Lavinia found a shoebox filled with dozens of handsewn fascicles containing 1,800 poems, one of which read “This is my letter to the world/That never wrote to me.” Join us for a creative writing workshop in which we discover the poetry of Emily Dickinson, particularly her explorations of psychology, womanhood, and death. This will be a generative workshop in which we draft new material. Bring your own pens, pencils, paper, & notebooks. Poems will be provided. Enjoy opportunities to nurture your inner Muse!
