The writing of poetry is a form of reflective practice. It requires deep thought, attention to detail and an awareness of emotion.  Writing a poem is an act of mindfulness. Poetry teaches us about ourselves and about others. I like poetry because it is musical:  it has rhythm - a way of speaking that feels authentic and honest. 

​

In this fast paced, chaotic world, poetry can be a safe space to express thoughts and connect with the thoughts of others. 

​

The poetry initiative has been an opportunity to enjoy life in the slow lane...think haiku on a typewriter. More opportunities for participation in this initiative will be made available in Jan 2027.

 

Workshops currently available for local high schools.
