Spellbound: Poetry Workshop

Let creativity cast a spell on your writing. Join us for Spellbound a Poetry Workshop led by Stirling Makar Laura Fyfe. Bring an old poem to rework or let your imagination run wild. We’ll be getting creative with our writing, and for those who would like to, sharing some of our poems aloud.
