About the event
The purpose of this writing group is to practice and honor the craft of poetry, as you individually see it. The spirit of craft is beginner’s mind, or the open feeling that we always have something to learn. In that spirit we will mature our own poetry and share our work if we choose. All are welcome, including first-time poets. Each session will be self-contained, with a practice period, poetry free-writing, sharing, and a spirit-of-craft discussion.

His work has been printed in several publications, including Furrows, Headwaters, and The Mountain Xpress. He has experience as a freelance creative writing coach and a writing workshop facilitator.
