Poetry and Performance

Poetry  and Creative Writing Workshops

Inner-Words: Find Your Voice through Writing.  These creative writing sessions are open to anyone and aimed at helping participants uncover the voices within them--the silenced words that need to be heard. The session is facilitated by Kathryn Adams, Ed. D. and is open to the public. Bring what you have written, or come with nothing on a page and discover the words that are already written within you.

For information, contact kadams@vcccd.edu 

Veterans' Writing Workshop.  These writing sessions are open to current or former military (U.S. or global), family or loved-ones of military. While writing prompts and activities do not intentionally focus on these experience, the Veterans' writing Workshop is a place where military can feel comfortable sharing whatever the writing brings. See workshop calendar for dates.
