Join us for an afternoon Intro to Poetry Writing workshop at Slow North's shop featuring local author and poetry instructor Hollie Hardy. Hollie will share and discuss a selection of poems and offer multiple writing prompts and techniques to help you connect to your senses, get inspired, and get your pen in motion. Participants will have time to write and share new work in a relaxed, supportive environment. Return home with a deeper sense of community, a handful of new poems and some fresh ideas for getting on the page. All levels welcome.
