“Write here…Write now!” The poetry workshop is about getting you writing and having fun doing it. There will be no heavy critiques, no rigid standards, no negative feedback and no advice on getting published. Each meeting will include writing exercises, and participants have an opportunity to share their finished works that evolved from poems written during the workshops.
Workshop instructor Diane (Devennie) Hamilton has been published in a variety of small press magazines, including: Painted Bride Quarterly and Hot Water Review along with doing numerous readings at Philadelphia venues in the 70s and 80s. In the spring of 2006 she was the featured poet in The Hess Quarterly. Hamilton’s recent publishing credits include The Taj Mahal Review and The Green Tricycle. She has won prizes for her poetry locally and online. Hamilton hosts an online poetry forum at www.newcafe.org and has conducted writing workshops there.
