Join poet and editor James Crews for a supportive and encouraging retreat focusing on rest and peace through writing. We will work from poems and prompts from his latest book, Breathing Room (available for pre-order, release March 17), and create together in a stress-free and tender space.
There will be time for sharing what you write, if you wish, but there is no pressure to do so, and this workshop is ideal for writers of all levels and backgrounds.
A Zoom link will be sent to participants before the event.
