Annual Spring Workshop

Each April, WyoPoets hosts its premier educational event, featuring a weekend dedicated to the study and celebration of poetry. The festivities begin on Friday evening with a keynote reading by a distinguished guest poet, followed by presentations from our annual contest winners and a community open mic. This evening session is free and open to the public.
On Saturday, the focus shifts to intensive craft-based learning. A featured presenter leads two deep-dive sessions designed to transform your writing and provide fresh inspiration. Registration for the Saturday workshop includes a provided lunch and an opportunity to browse and purchase books from fellow attendees.
