City Poet Laureate Writing and Reading Workshop: Holiday Poetry Hotline (2 Part Series)

Join West Hollywood City Poet Laureate Jen Cheng for a workshop of poetry writing, inspired by The Poetry Pharmacy. 

Holiday stress doesn't need to get us down when we have poetry to connect to our shared humanity. In the first of this two-part workshop, discuss what type of poems might address certain "conditions" and be inspired by poems that might prompt your own writing. At the December 21, 2024, Participant Workshop, workshop participants will be answering live phone calls to deliver "poem prescriptions" for callers. Attendance at the December 7 workshop is required to attend the December 21 event. No experience needed. Come with curiosity. Attendance is limited for this free workshop, and advance registration is required. 

Jen Cheng is the West Hollywood City Poet Laureate, a 2023 California Arts Council Fellow, and a multidisciplinary storyteller who amplifies under-represented voices. Jen is the founder of Palabras Literary Salon, celebrating BIPOC poets and writers. Jen blends East-West cultural influences in a new form, Feng Shui Poetry.
