Join us for a special writing workshop entitled, “My Secret Lansing,” in which you will experiment with activities designed to evoke your most vivid memories and treasured memories of life in the Lansing Area. Followed by an Open Mike.

Participants will take part in a variety of writing activities that draw upon and activate our memories of a special place, event, person or thing in our hometown—a secret treasure or hidden pleasure somewhere within the Greater Lansing Area. Poet Ruelaine Stokes will serve as the workshop facilitator.

The workshop is the first of two based on this theme and serves to kick off the Poetry Club’s Spring “My Secret Lansing” Writing Contest, which is open to the public and invites writers to describe in poetry or in prose one special and specific place/thing/person/event within the Greater Lansing Area.

The Deadline for the poetry contest will be March 15, 2017.
