The Mature Poets Workshop Series for 2019-2020

The Mature Adults Workshop Series, held at the PCCC Wanaque Campus, is open to adults age 50 and over.

Award-winning poets, Maria Mazziotti Gillan and Laura Boss, alternate leading each workshop in the series.

There are six 2-hour workshops in both the Fall and Spring sessions. Separate registration is required for each seasonal offering. The focus is on writing narrative poetry and sharing the work that you’ve just written in the workshop.

Pre-registration is required for both the fall and spring workshop series. Each has a fee of $90 for 6 sessions in the series or $180 for both the fall and spring series.

All sessions are held from 1pm - 3pm at the Wanaque Academic Center in Wanaque, NJ.

The FALL 2019 sessions will be held on October 3, 10, 17, 31 and November 7 and 14.

The SPRING 2020 sessions will be held on March 12, 19 and April 2, 9, 16, and 23.
