Free Writers' Seminar Sunday, 4/13

Antioch Writers' Workshop and Books & Co are offering the next Free Writers' Seminar this Sunday, April 13 2:00-3:30 p.m. at Books & Co at The Greene. 

Celebrate National Poetry Month with A Poem in your Pocket--You say you've never written a poem? By the end of this session, you'll have created your first poem! You say you're an experienced poet? By the end of this session, you'll have a whole new poem to share... and have celebrated national poetry month with fellow poetry lovers! Why not come create a poem to tuck in your pocket... so much more fun than loose change, old paperclips and used tissues! 

This will be led by Grace Curtis, whose chapbook, The Surly Bonds of Earth was selected by Stephen Dunn as the 2010 winner of the Lettre Sauvage chapbook contest. Her first full length collection, The Shape of a Box will be out in May from Dos Madres Press.

When she’s not writing, she works for The Antioch Review. Her website is www.n2poetry.com.
