Sunday Series Poetry Workshop with Michael Torres
May 17, 2021 @ 5:00 am - 7:30 am
$25 – $35
Join us on the 3rd Sunday of every month for a 2.5 hour workshop led by an accomplished poet.
Our Sunday Series workshops are a combination of craft talk and generative writing class. While there is no critique in these sessions, you will have an opportunity to share your newly generated work by reading aloud to your classmates.
We’re excited that the virtual space allows us to connect with you. The Poetry Lab is located IRL in Pomona, California. Sunday Series is a virtual forum for one-time visiting artist collaborations. Past visiting artists include: Sara Borjas, Marcus Omari, Brendan Constantine, and many others.
