THE POETS’ STUDIO: WRITING WORKSHOP – APRIL 8, 2025
Twelve Gates is so excited to announce the first writing workshop of our upcoming event series, THE POETS’ STUDIO. In collaboration with Sanam Sheriff, we will be hosting monthly workshops and social gatherings for folks interested in connecting with others through poetry.
THE WRITING WORKSHOP
This Month’s Poet is Taylor Alyson Lewis, who will be giving a reading and leading us through this April’s Writing Workshop. Poets will have the opportunity to generate and share new work. A forthcoming Open Call will allow local poets to apply to feature for future sessions. Poets who attend April’s Writing Workshop will be given priority for April’s Revision Workshop at the end of the month.
Find more information about the event series here.
