This workshop will provide an opportunity for writers of all skill levels and genres to simply write, and have time to share a new work or work in progress for peer review and feedback, as well as find encouragement and support to progress our own craft and our goals as fellow writers. Event by Bethel Poet Laureate (Ms. Vicinanza is Poet Laureate, Emerita for Southbury, Connecticut, appointed in October of 2022.)
