About the event:
Join us to read, write, and share poems inspired by the work of poets Theodore Roethke and Lorine Niedecker. We'll focus on how jokes, games, nonsense, and other forms of play can lead to unique insights about places that matter. This generative workshop warmly welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds. It will be led by visiting poets Caryl Pagel and Zach Savich.
