Charlotte Hall Library

Meeting Room

Poetry writing workshop inspired by collection of poems "Ink Knows No Borders".

We will examine selections from Ink Knows No Borders, edited by Patrice Vecchione and Alyssa Raymond, and use those poems as a catalyst for exploring the immigrant and refugee experience through poetry. Participants are encouraged to reflect and write based on their own experiences, opinions, and beliefs. All are welcome! No previous poetry experience is necessary; we will all leave with a draft, ideas, and inspiration for future poems.
