Wanting to deepen your writing practice but not sure you have the time to commit to in-person weekly workshops?

A Poet’s Rhythm gives you the opportunity to be bolstered by an encouraging and consistent poetic community, regular assignments and readings by inspiring writers, along with focused critique from Claudia and your fellow participants through the combination of both online and in-person meetings.

We meet the second Sunday of each month in-person at Savage Arts in SE Portland's Montavilla neighborhood to connect, share work, and offer support to each other. We keep momentum through online community hangouts, videos, weekly assignments, and reading suggestions.

Each season will have a different focus that gives you a chance to continue your growth as a writer and to integrate art-making into the life you currently lead. Student readings follow each session so that you may share your poetry with your extended community.

By committing to a dedicated community, you will create artistic friendships and allies in your creative pursuit that last. Join us and be part of not just another writing group, but an artistic movement.

Fall Session: Sept. 10-Dec. 10, 2017

Spring Session: Jan. 21-May 13, 2018
