On Saturday the 6th of February I’ll be co-hosting a free poetry workshop at the Holly Springs Community Arts Festival with my friends and fellow poets Tara Lynne Groth and Chris Abbate. It starts at 1pm in the Holly Springs Cultural Center. We’ll write, we’ll share, we’ll offer each other gentle feedback. It should be a fun afternoon and I expect to emerge with a new poem or two.

That’s an even better reason to return to Berlin than the currywurst.

This was an excellent workshop. Your presentation was very helpful for helping poets to find prompts and get those brain cells working. Thank you!
