Poetry workshop! Next Wednesday! with changes

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.  

Waiter! There’s a slanted rhyme in my tea!

Every second Wednesday is the free poetry workshop at Cederberg Tea House. I love leading these, but the last few have been lead by Seattle area poet, Frank Spaulding. This has allowed me time to have my own work critiqued: I really want to make a hard push to get my manuscript completed.

If you want to come in, or know somebody that might, check out quiet. They are an art group that is all about social justice and change. Click on the link above, explore their projects, come to one of their productions (including open mics and theatre productions).

See you soon!
