Milkweed Poetry Workshop

Please join us on Wednesday, May 11th at 7 pm at the A.W. Buckbee Center for our forth workshop with Wendy Insinger and Brooke Hamling.

POETRY VIBES: Come play with words and find your voice inside some lines.

Hear Poems * Make Poems * Share Poems (If you’re feeling it.) This is a fun, generative workshop. All are welcome! (even those who do not consider themselves “poets”)

Founded in spring of 2016, MPW has hosted two-hundred-and-sixty-two workshops, published two literary journals, and created immersive poetry experiences/installations at various local art festivals and exhibitions.

Reservations are recommended, walk-ins permitted as space allows, call 845-986-3236 to reserve a seat.

In a partnership with the talented Wickham Works, come to the Love Local Maker Market in tranquil Lewis Park in the heart of Warwick, NY, visit with over 40 local artisan vendors and peruse their handmade wares. Find one-of-a-kind items, repurposed and reused materials, meet the artisan vendors and take away something unique.

$3.00 admission supports the missions of Wickham Works and the Warwick Historical Society. Call 845-986-3236 for more information.
