2023 Spring Workshop
Save the date! Aaron Abeyta (https://aaronabeytapoet.com/) will be our presenter at the 2023 Spring Workshop, scheduled for April 28-29 at the Riverton Holiday Inn in Riverton, Wyoming.
Details will follow early in 2023 for reserving rooms at the Riverton Holiday Inn.
Members who arrive Friday afternoon will be on their own for dinner, but we are tentatively planning a Friday evening poetry reading (Aaron will read some of his poetry), and poets will be able to set up for selling and exchanging books and products.
Saturday's schedule will consist of a WyoPoets Board Meeting early Saturday morning, followed by a morning workshop session, luncheon, and closing afternoon workshop session.
We hope to have people on the road home by 4:00 p.m. Saturday the 29th. We look forward to seeing y'all next spring!
Registration
Early Bird registration $70 per person until April 10, includes lunch. $75 after April 10, lunch not guaranteed. Some youth scholarships available.
Scholarships are available. Learn more here.
Spring Workshop is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature.
NATIONAL POETRY DAY:
Each year we mark National Poetry Day on October 15 by encouraging our members to spread the love of poetry in their communities. See how we celebrate.
This year writers of all experience levels from aspiring to established are invited to Installations and Inspirations, a community writing event, starting at 1PM, at the Rockpile Museum, 900 W. 2nd Street, Gillette. While there participants will learn about and explore ekphrastic writing—creating prose and poetry inspired by images and objects—in a fun, informal, informative atmosphere.
Participants will discover how visual prompts found in the museum’s exhibits can make history, and creativity, come alive. The event is sponsored by the Rockpile Museum Association; admission fees will be waived for the afternoon.
Members of Prairie Pens local writers’ group will be on hand to share in the event and to offer assistance and encouragement if needed. The group usually meets at 1PM, the third Saturday of each month, in pioneer Room 1, at Campbell County Public Library.
