Poetry Book Club @ Solid State Books on H St.


Join us every third Sunday of the month from 3-4 pm to read and write poetry with our resident poet, Mariam. Each workshop begins with a free write, leading to reading selections from the selection for that month, then writing your own poems, and ending with sharing out. *No need to read the book before hand, come with something to write with and an open mind!

Monthly meetings, usually on the third Sunday of the month at 3pm.
