Why Write Poetry Even if No One Will Read It | Phyllis Bell, Elizabeth Staab Van Deusen, and Sally Gano Jones

Come join us at our October meeting as FCW members Phyllis Bell, Elizabeth Staab Van Deusen, and Sally Gano Jones lead us in a sure-to-be-helpful and intriguing workshop showing us why we should all be writing poetry even if no one else reads it. The workshop leaders will be highlighting the benefits of writing poetry, the pros and cons of writing poems, and why and when poems are appropriate. They will also engage the audience to participate in giving their opinions or experience in any of these areas.

In addition to the workshop, FCW members will have the opportunity to enter a holiday-themed poetry contest in the weeks prior to the meeting. This will be an FCW Fundraiser with an entry fee as well as donated prizes to be awarded to the winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) the night of the workshop. The entry fee is $5 per poem with a limit of two submissions per member. More info on the poetry contest will be posted in our FCW Facebook group. Plan now to enter the contest and also attend the workshop. It will be a night none of us want to miss!
