The Anthology of Erie Poets presents The Erie Poetry Community Workshop

The Erie Community Poetry Workshop is designed to help members of the Erie community find their poetic voices and generate poetry that represents their diverse experiences and environments. We will look at different poetic forms, modes, and occasions while working together to write new poems and revise older ones. Led by Dr. Clayton Bradshaw-Mittal and featuring guest poetry instructors, the workshop is open to any member of the Erie community who would like to write poetry in a setting that encourages collaboration and growth.

For more information, please email Dr. Clayton Bradshaw-Mittal at bradshaw013@gannon.edu or visit eriepoetryanthology.com.
