Poetry has a magical way of connecting us to each other, and to things which we may not have thought about before, or at least not for a while. It can connect and create new opinions, emotions, and perspectives. In this poetry workshop we will make new connections through reading, hearing, and writing poetry.

Join us for this in-person workshop at Oldham Library & Lifelong Learning Centre, hosted by Oldham Libraries & Comma Press.
