NJ Poetry Intensive Weekend Workshop With Maria Gillan and Kevin Carey




The in-person Poetry Weekend Intensive with Maria Gillan and Kevin Carey for winter will be held from December 9 – December 11, 2022, in Mendham, NJ.  

The purpose of this retreat is to give poets the space and time to focus on their writing away from the pressures and distractions of everyday life. Participants will draft poems in the workshops and should bring paper or a notebook, pens, and the willingness to take risks. Please also bring previously-written work for one-on-one critiquing sessions and for group readings.

As per the guidelines of the Retreat House, everyone who will participate must be vaccinated and boosted.  Everyone who works at the retreat house is vaccinated.  

WRITING YOUR WAY HOME: A POETRY WEEKEND INTENSIVE will be held at an English Manor House situated on 93 acres of wooded land with pathways for exploring the property. This serene, beautiful setting is perfect for contemplating nature and nurturing the creative spirit. This poetry weekend intensive is open to all writers over the age of 18.
