Write Around the World 2026 (dates to be confirmed)

I will be leading writing workshops as part of AWA’s Write Around the World series. WAW allows beginner, emerging and experienced writers to experience a workshop that holds safe and creative space using the Amherst Writers’ Method. This is also a once-a-year fundraiser to support the social justice programs offered by Amherst Writers.

Finding Poetry

“ Maybe if we re-invent whatever our lives give us we find poems”

Naomi Shihab Nye

Are you curious about writing poetry?  Would you like to be introduced to a variety of poets?  Although prompts are specifically focused on exploring poetry, participants are welcome to write in any genre they prefer.   This is a safe place to experiment, learn craft and open up to the poet in you.

Join Clare Bolton in this 2 hour workshop.  It is time to fall in love with poetry for the first time or all over again.

Registration is by donation.
