Join acclaimed author and educator Jeff Kass for Organizing a poetry workshop for writing and performance, a workshop that will break down the hows, whys, do's and don'ts for teaching folks how to write and perform poems.
This free workshop is geared for any writers interested in leading workshops, both those with and without prior experience. Space is limited, and registration is required.
The workshop is made possible thanks to a Saginaw Community Foundation Access and Opportunity grant. We are thankful for the support they provide to our community.
