About the workshop
Using generative techniques, class participants will articulate their visions through poetry and story in a safe environment where all participant’s voices are welcome. Sharing and listening creates connections, empathy, and gathers us in community. CD will then work individually with participants to choose a poem or story to revise, polish, and prepare for public presentation.
- Writing experience not required.
- Must be a resident of Malden.
- Must commit to attending all four sessions
Workshop Fee (total for all 4 sessions)*
- UMA members: $15
