Join Alexandra van de Kamp, Executive Director of Gemini Ink, for a relaxed discussion about the current world of poetry. The event will take place in an informal setting where coffee will be provided, and you’re invited to bring a friend and enjoy a seat with fellow poetry enthusiasts.
During the session, Alexandra will share some of the poems she’s been reading and discuss contemporary poets who are making waves in the poetry scene. The conversation will also invite attendees to share the poems they’ve been exploring and discuss the importance of poetry.
This event offers an opportunity to connect with a welcoming poetic community. Attendees will leave with new poems to explore and creative prompts to inspire their own writing.
