What a great workshop! It was interesting to participate in a virtual space. It actually took some of the fear out of public speaking. The best part was sharing space with so many talented people. Thank you!

MAS MAS MAS!

Thank you, Olga. I, too, enjoyed it tremendously. We will continue the monthly workshops inworld. What a great space to connect with other writers from across the U.S., and world!

I agree with Olga! I had such a wonderful time at the workshop. It gave me the opportunity to interact and share ideas with poets from afar. It really felt like we were all together in a workshop enviornment, learning from one another and reading our work.

Thank you so much Maria for organizing this and conducting the workshop. I too hope this becomes a routine, and that we 'meet up' to produce work and discuss poems :-) So refreshing!!
