Announcing an Online Alternative to the Spring Workshop
Juliet Patterson
Your WyoPoets board has been hard at work to bring members an online alternative to the annual Spring Workshop, which was cancelled due to the current pandemic crisis. We're pleased to announce that there will be an online version available to all members. Juliet Patterson (who we had originally planned to bring to Gillette) will provide a recorded video presentation, followed by four weeks of writing prompts. The video and prompts will be made free to all members (and members only).
In addition, for a $15 charge, members who participate will be able to send one of their poetry prompt responses to Juliet for feedback — payment details coming soon. Watch your email for further announcements. Learn more about Juliet and find out how to purchase her books on our Workshop page.

WyoPoets Spring Workshop CANCELLED
Notice to all WyoPoets members: Because the April Workshop is cancelled, please do not send any more poems to Juliet Patterson. Those who sent before the workshop cancellation will receive communications from Juliet.
At an emergency meeting, the WyoPoets Board of Directors decided to cancel the annual Poetry Workshop scheduled for April 24-25, 2020 in Gillette, WY. Cancellation was chosen reluctantly and with great sadness after careful, thoughtful discussion about the perils of the coronavirus outbreak.
Inasmuch as no one is able to foresee in the near term a future safe from the coronavirus pandemic, rescheduling a face-to-face workshop later this year is only a very remote option. However, the Board is exploring the possibility of conducting a free, online, scaled back digital workshop later this year.
Those who have already registered and paid for the April Workshop will upon request have their fees 1) fully refunded without question, or 2) may choose to assign those funds as a donation to WyoPoets, or 3) may leave them with the WyoPoets’ treasurer to be applied to a future in-person Workshop later this year, should such a possibility arise. If not, the first two options (above) will be available.
The Board of Directors of WyoPoets regrets that it must cancel the Workshop but for the sake of the safety of our members and the civic responsibility of our organization it has no choice.
