Write and Learn POETRY with James Dewar

WRITE and LEARN POETRY with James Dewar is offered in the online ZOOM ROOM format on the SECOND SATURDAY MORNING of each month from 10 until 12 EST..
 
We spend about 15 minutes each workshop discussing an interesting aspect of writing good verse and then practice it by creating at least two poems. We then encourage each other to share our fresh new poems offering feedback that accentuates what is working well and what stays with us.
 
Bring your muses to this productive workshop. We’re sure the good company will inspire them to be generous.
 
The fee to attend each workshop is $44 (+ HST).
