According to Open Doors Associate Director Alex Eshelman:
I'm excited to invite you to the Reality Poets Poetry Workshop, hosted at the Roosevelt Island Older Adult Center on Monday June 10th 4-6pm EST. This will be the first of many Reality Poets Poetry Workshops, and if you've been to recent Freestyle Fridays, you've seen a little of what we'll bring to the table. At this workshop, you will learn about poetry, write and share poetry and hear from others in your community. Furthermore, participants will have the chance to submit writing from this workshop to our upcoming book, Wheeling and Healing 2. If you can't make it in person but still want to participate, you can tune in with this Zoom link.
I look forward to seeing all of you who can make it!
