Poetry Workshop Retreat + Reading with Nicole Santalucia

  • Tioga Arts Council 179 Front Street Owego, NY 13827 USA (map)

Tioga Arts Council (TAC) is proud to present a generative workshop with guest poet, Nicole Santalucia, on Saturday, July 1, at Cloud Croft Studios in Owego, NY. Join us!
.
DESCRIPTION
This generative writing workshop nurtures space for participants to write and share their work. Participants will discuss the significance of place/nature, the intersections of identity, and explore our origin stories. Through a series of prompts, the group will re-envision personal histories and examine words, experiences, and places that sometimes empower, sometimes free, and sometimes entrap us. Afterward, Santalucia will give a reading that is free and open to the public.
