Poetry Workshops at the Poetry Center in Paterson

The poetry workshops on April 14 with Kim Addonizio or Colleen J. McElroy at the Poetry Center in Paterson are filled, but a few spots are still open for the May 5 workshops.

Of course, the afternoon reading on April 14 celebrating the Winner and Finalists of the 2017 Paterson Poetry Prize is, as always, free and open to the public.  The winning book is Kim Addonizio's, Mortal Trash (W. W. Norton & Company, New York, NY).



On May 5, 2018, Joseph Bathanti & Jill Bialosky will conduct workshops in the morning
and read their poetry in the afternoon.
Workshops are at 10 am to 12 pm - registration information.
