It’s said that everyone has at least one novel in them, one story that’s uniquely theirs to tell, and, if that’s true, then each of us must have hundreds of poems to share. Poetry’s an incredibly versatile art form. At its simplest, it can capture a moment or a mood; as it becomes more developed, it can answer a question or explore an idea; and at its most complex, it can be used to tell stories that can rival plays and novels in breadth and depth.

Join us as we demystify poetry and explore this ancient art form through readings, compositions, and discussions in a fun, interactive environment.
