WEDNESDAY

Chatham Poets writing group.  At our initial meeting on December 6, 2023 at 10:30 am, we will discuss and decide on various issues such as, whether we want to use a 'prompt' to inspire our works, whether we want to meet every Wednesday or only some Wednesdays, whether we want to bring our poems in writing to the group, or simply read them, and other details.  The group will offer guidance and feedback to all poets.  This group will meet at the Library with an option to join via Zoom.   If you would like to join this group, please contact Amy Andreasson.
