Poetry is a powerful medium for communicating our thoughts, ideas, and emotions. Let your imagination loose and invite your mind’s abstractions to take shape as we explore the work of
notable poets to inspire our own.
Join us in rejoicing all things poetry as we read, write, and share.
Best suited for adults.
