SUMMARY:Poetry Writing Workshop with Susan Roney-O’Brien
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, DECEMBER 4 – 11:00 AM—12:00 PM\nVirtual Event Worcester\, MA\, 01608\nRegistration link: https://mywpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/poetry-writing-workshop-with-susan-roney-o-brien-7/\n\nThis virtual poetry workshop is a vehicle for critique\, a time of close reading and thoughtful responses that help craft the written word so that it says exactly what the author intends.

Please join us. Writing prompts will be shared with registrants one week before the workshop\, and we request you submit your work at least three days before the workshop to give attendees time to read your poem. \nSusan Roney-O’Brien earned her MFA at Warren Wilson College and is the author of five poetry collections. She hosts monthly poetry readings\, teaches workshops\, and coordinates the Stanley Kunitz summer writing series.

SUMMARY:Poetry Writing Workshop with Susan Roney-O’Brien
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event Worcester\, MA\, 01608\n \n\nThis virtual poetry workshop is a vehicle for critique\, a time of close reading and thoughtful responses that help craft the written word so that it says exactly what the author intends. The focus is the work itself. Poets are respectful of each other\, value the craft\, understand the courage it takes to have work critiqued\, and make the final decisions about their own writing. Please join us. Writing prompts will be shared with registrants one week before the workshop\, and we request you submit your work at least three days before the workshop to give attendees time to read your poem. \nSusan Roney-O’Brien earned her MFA at Warren Wilson College and is the author of five poetry collections. She hosts monthly poetry readings\, teaches workshops and coordinates the Stanley Kunitz summer writing series. \nRegister Here: https://mywpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/poetry-writing-workshop-with-susan-roney-o-brien-6/

SUMMARY:A virtual Thirsty Lab with Catherine Zebrowski
DESCRIPTION:Since May 2020\, the WCPA has helped a few community poetry readings with virtual events. The Thirsty Lab poetry reading\, normally based out of Princeton\, Mass.\, was one of our first. On Tuesday\, October 26\, 2021\, Catherine Zebrowski will be the featured reader. \nVisit the Zoom registration link to receive information on how to join the reading. Zoom will send you an e-mail with the meeting details and a link to join. \nRegister \nCatherine Zebrowski has been writing poetry\, fiction\, and an occasional play for most of her life and has had two chapbooks of poetry self-published through LULU inspired by Irish family history. She spent most of 2020 working on a full-length volume\, “Pursuing an unearthly garden”\, that could be poems of healing and aging. In 2016\, she had my first novel\, “Sleepwalking Backwards”\, published through TouchPoint Press. Her second novel\, “Through a Bakery Window”\, loosely based on a true crime story that took place in Worcester County in 1898-99\, was just released through the same company on October 20th. Catherine is currently working on a third novel called\, “Grace above the Lake”\, which begins in the summer of 1939 at White City on Lake Quinsigamond when it was an amusement park.
