Sunday, Feb 17th, 2pm at Duzer’s Local Cafe & Market, 387 Van Duzer St, SINY 10304

This is the second poetry workshop that Staten Island poet Thomas Fucaloro is presenting for the NEA/The Big Read with Staten Island OutLOUD. In his previous workshop session, Tom led a discussion on the writing process, using text from Kelly Link’s “The Wrong Grave” – and taking as a jumping-off point the predicament of Miles, the young poet in that story. Everyone who participated in that workshop received a writing prompt, so in this session we’ll workshop the poetry that each person has written.
If you’re joining us for the first time on Feb 17th, please feel free to bring any of your writing and Tom will be happy to workshop that, too.
If you wrote a poem based on “The Wrong Grave” or if you want to bring in other work, that’s fine. But please don’t bring anything longer than 1 page, please. Also, please bring in at least 5 copies to share with the group. If you email your work to sioutloud@yahoo.com by Feb 15th, we’ll be happy to make copies for you.
