Rekindle your creative fire! Poets of all levels, from beginner to advanced, come together to read, write, and recite.  Avant-garde painter & poet EE Cummings boldly experimented with language to create imaginative and original works of art.  A tireless innovator, he celebrates love and spring in his poetry.  Join us for a generative workshop in which we think outside the box, drafting new material inspired by a deep dive into the poetry of EE Cummings.  Bring your own pencils & notebooks. Poems will be provided. Enjoy opportunities to nurture your inner Muse!
