Join us for a dynamic poetry workshop, "Writing Your Truth," open to writers of all levels. Dive into the art of authentic expression at the main branch of the Salisbury library from 1-3 PM EST. Discover the essence of poetic craft, explore diverse genres, including the Skinny poetry form. Also learn practical methods to overcome possible “writing blocks,” through engaging writing prompts. Afterward, step into Unity Square across the street for an invigorating open mic session from 3:30-5:00 PM, that will be as sweet as Smith Island Cake. Whether you're a seasoned poet or a beginner, this workshop promises a supportive environment to nurture your voice. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to write from your heart and share your journey with fellow poets. No prior experience required--just bring your passion and a desire to write your truth.
