I’ve posted here that I do lead a poetry workshop at Cederberg Tea House in Seattle for the art and social change group, quiet. The workshops are schedule for every second Wednesday of the month. I think this one coming up will be the one year anniversary of doing these.
The goal (and I think it has been successful) has been to give poets a supportive environment to share work in and to get feed back to help in the revision process. It has created great community as well, with a few of us becoming friends and sharing more than poetry in between workshops.
The next few will be lead by my friend Frank Spaulding. I will move to being workshopped. I am doing this to put pressure on myself to produce new work as well as continue working on my manuscript. Frank has co-lead the workshops from the beginning, has read in Seattle, and does improv theatre (and karaoke too).
If you’re a Seattle poet and would like to be part of this, just head over to quiet and RSVP through there.
