Maria Mazziotti Gillan and Laura Boss have held their weekend poetry retreats for many years, but have had to cancel their weekend intensive for September 2020. Laura and Maria have decided to host a four-hour poetry intensive using the popular online tool Zoom.
This program will take place Saturday, August 1 from 10 AM till 2 PM. Laura and Maria will conduct this session as they do when they live workshops at the retreat house in Mendham. They will each take half the group and then switch groups so that everybody gets a chance to work with both poets and will use the same writing prompts.
The fee for this Zoom workshop is $40. If you’re interested, please make sure you e-mail Smita Desai at sdesai@pccc.edu and fill out the form linked below and send it with a check payable to Maria Mazziotti Gillan, and mail it to 40 Post Avenue, Hawthorne NJ 07506.
