Poetry Workshops

Explore poetry in an accessible and supportive environment. This class is designed to help you discover your own poetic voice.

Please bring a pen and paper. We’ll begin with a few free-writing exercises. We’ll read and discuss a selection of poems centered around a particular theme or poetic form. You’ll then have the opportunity to write your own poem inspired by a prompt. We will conclude each class with an optional sharing session focused on positive feedback only.

Class meets on Tuesdays from 1:00–2:30 PM. The cost is $15 per session.

The class takes place at John Calvin Presbyterian Church (6531 Columbia Pike | Annandale, VA 22003). Detailed directions will be emailed to you after you register.

Summer dates include:

July 21, July 28, August 11, August 18, August 25
