For those of you who use writing classes as a way to set aside special time for your writing practice: Here is an irresistible gift … a clinic to keep your pen and mind in motion. The first hour of the clinic will be devoted to generative poetry writing exercises; the second hour will be devoted to respectful critiques of work you bring to or make in class. Join Us!

The Poetry Clinic at River Arts has been meeting on the first and third Tuesday of every month for many years. The clinic began as a twice-a-month poetry writing class in January 2010 with Julia Shipley, and we just never stopped.
Each week, a different member of the open group brings a prompt, and we all write a poem based on that prompt between 6 and 7 pm. From 7 to 8 pm, we share what we have written, and offer each other creative and constructive critiques. We have published three poetry compilations and always welcome new attendees.
