Are you in grades 6-9? Are you a writer or a poet? Do you WANT to be one? Have we got a series for you!

Join us for a 5-week poetry workshop to develop your own poetic voice and explore the possibilities of poetic form. We'll examine work from famous poets from history and today, and help you develop your ideas and your writing with constructive collaboration in this small and supportive group. This workshop is presented by Creative Writing students from Wheaton College. Ages 11-14.

Poets Wayne-Daniel Berard and Sara Letourneau are hosting the Pour Me a Poem open mic on the second Thursday of each month at 51 Park Street (Wayne-Daniel's home) in Mansfield, MA, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Timothy Gager of Dedham will be our feature poet on Thursday, February 9, 2024.

After the feature poet, there will be a quick break, followed by the main open mic. You can sign up for your time slot upon arrival. The event is free, but please bring a few bucks for when we "pass the hat" for the feature poet.

Please ensure you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before attending. Also, please make sure you park on the even-numbered side of the street, opposite from Wayne-Daniel's house.
