Hamilton Poetry Centre runs a monthly Workshop Series. All welcome – poets and poetry lovers! This is a great opportunity to receive thoughtful peer feedback on your poems in progress, or just enjoy joining in the discussion. We meet at the Westdale Library on the third Thursday of most months, (generally a December rest), from 5:00 to 6:45.
