A Mini Workshop in Two Sessions for Newbies or Wannabe Poets

A series of two workshops, led by Westwood poet laureate Lynne Viti, is open to those who have never written poetry before but would like to try, as well as to those who have dabbled in poetry, whether recently or decades ago.

For the first session on October 31, 1:45-3:00 p.m., choose two family photos and bring them to the first workshop, in paper or album form or digital images on a electronic tablet (not a cell phone).

Participants should also bring a journal notebook, drugstore marble composition notebook, or a pad of lined paper, and pens or sharpened pencils.

Participants will write two or three poems during each session, responding to assigned prompts, and will share their work with the group by reading it aloud to the resounding applause of their supportive, respectful fellow poets.

To register for this free workshop, call the Islington Branch of the Westwood Public Library at 781-326-5914 or go to https://westwoodlibrary.libcal.com/event/10913039
