The Expressive Art of Poetry

“Alight” is both adjective and verb, referring to radiance as well as coming to rest, like a bird upon a branch.

As we approach the longest nights of the year, we celebrate the twinkle, and anticipate the lengthening of days. Or we embrace the reflective stillness of deep winter.

This healing and exploratory practice will offer opportunities for both, through reading, writing, and sharing poetry in a safe, online space.

Open to beginners and seasoned writers alike.
