There is a place that begins every poem…
Join SBPL and previous City of Santa Barbara Poet Laureate Sojourner Kincaid for a memoir and poetry workshop. Attendees will explore their own memories and experiences to craft a memoir in poem. There will be an opportunity for attendees to participate in a public reading of their works at the end of April.
Space is limited, registration required.
