Excerpted from Maria Gillan's Poetry Center blog
A few weeks ago we finished a series of the virtual Mature Adult Workshops where people produced exceptionally fine work and I was incredibly happy. We have just started the next series of workshops. What I love about them is how enthusiastic people are about them and the way that we can bring people from a long distance into the workshop. We have people from California, Canada, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Because of this, I have decided that although we are starting in-person workshops again in March, continuing forward I will do one in-person workshop and reading and one virtual workshop and reading each month. In this way, I hope to expand the reach of the Poetry Center and to give more people opportunities to participate.
Maria Mazziotti Gillan's new poetry collection is When the Stars Were Still Visible (2021). Other recent publications are the poetry and photography collection, Paterson Light and Shadow and the poetry collections What Blooms in Winter and The Girls in the Chartreuse Jackets which pairs her poems with her paintings. Maria's artist's website is MariaMazziottiGillan.com and her poetry website is MariaGillan.com.

| Poetry Weekend Workshop Maria Gillan & Kevin Carey, December 2021 |
We will have our first return to in-person workshops and readings in March featuring Terrance Hayes and Willie Perdomo. This certainly has been a trying couple of years but I count on poets and our audience to be resilient and resourceful. It will be wonderful to be together again.
