WAG POETRY
Let Your Life Speak: A Writing Workshop
Sunday, October 18, 10 am to 2 pm
Facilitated by Sarah W. Bartlett
Writers and philosophers across the ages have concerned themselves, among other pressing issues, with questions of how and who we become in the course of our lifetimes. To quote two modern-day celebrities, “The only way to do great work is to do what you love” (Steve Jobs): and “Find out who you are and do it on purpose. And with purpose” (Dolly Parton). Many of us live caught between the shoulds and oughts of early upbringing or multiple external guidance, without listening in to learn what truly feeds us. Together, we’ll grapple with some of these questions in a safe, confidential environment by reflecting on prompts and physical artifacts through writing, observation, sharing and discussion. No prior writing experience required. Just bring an open heart, curiosity and good listening ears.
Limited to 10 participants. Please register by Thursday October 15 to give you time to receive a welcome letter with guidance on what to bring for our time together.

WaveWriters, the WAG poetry group, meets twice a month. We offer a judgement-free space to read/have your work heard by poets of widely differing styles and aesthetics; and to request specific feedback to further your writing. All comments are offered to lift up the strengths of a piece; ultimately, of course, the writing belongs to the writer. Sometimes, we use our time to seek ideas to move a piece forward, find the right voice, form or word. We may discuss specific aspects of writing poetry; or free-write together, sharing our words in the moment. We explore our vulnerability alongside our vision, celebrating each individual voice with equal attention. While some of us have published or seek to publish our work, that is neither focus nor requirement. And yet, to date, we have published two chapbook anthologies of our collected writing!!
Meetings
WAG Poets meet in person in the gallery the second Monday and final Thursday of the month starting at 1:30 pm. There is a $5 fee per person per session to help defray WAG expenses. We are currently closed to new members.
