April is Poetry Month and Cantilena is hosting a free Sunday afternoon beginner’s workshop led by Arlington’s Poet Laureate, Jean Flanagan, to celebrate the interplay of music, nature, and poetry.

 

“Poetry is not a mystery, nor should it be restricted to the halls of academia. It is open to all of us in our everyday lives to read, write, and to be inspired.”

 – Jean P. Flanagan

 

Cantilena welcomes and encourages all who wish to write a spring verse, to come and try their hand at this form of expression. Jean offers inspiring music, images, and sample poems to get our creative energy flowing.

​

No previous writing experience necessary.

Light refreshments provided.

Fully accessible venue.
