What you will take away:

The audience will enjoy an interactive and swiftly-paced reading with an intergenerational panel of writers.  This will be an inspired reading of response, reflection and reaction – where poets are encouraged to bring in several pieces to share, yet let each round affect what we ultimately decide in the moment to share.  The audience will also leave with fresh writing prompts to take with them (or write during the program if so compelled!).  Lastly, we’ll make time for some conversation on the process and themes that emerge throughout the event.
