Poetry Circle

Join us for an evening of poetry writing and discussion in a welcoming and creative environment! Generate new work with guided prompts, share your work when you're ready, and support your peers by providing constructive feedback.

While writing techniques may be discussed, this is not a formal creative writing class, or an English-language learning class.

Please aim to arrive at least five minutes prior to the program start time so that we may begin in a timely manner. Pens, pencils and paper will be provided, though you're welcome to bring your own supplies. There will be an opportunity for participants to share their work during each session. You are welcome to share what you create during the program, or something written outside the program that you are looking to receive feedback on. Our one rule for the Poetry Circle is to lead with respect and kindness. Some of us may be more advanced in our craft than others, but the heart of the program is to celebrate the love and curiosity of creating poetry. Please keep this in mind while we share space together, and be supportive and respectful of everyone.
