Join Poet Laureate Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman for a series of serene writing meetups amidst the natural beauty of Prince George's County, MD parks!
From May to September, immerse yourself in two hours of "quiet hours" designed for uninterrupted writing and reading in the company of fellow writers. Each month, gather in a different county park, including Fort Washington Park, Cosca Park, Allen Pond Park, National Harbor, and Watkins Park, to find inspiration in nature and connect with local writers.
Enjoy a brief introduction and writing prompt led by guest poets, followed by ample time for personal reflection and creation. Respect for fellow participants' focus is paramount, so bring your headphones and embrace the tranquil atmosphere.
Remember to pack your park essentials – chairs, blankets, water bottles, sunscreen, and insect repellent – as we embark on this communal writing journey. Don't miss this opportunity to nurture your creativity, forge connections, and share your literary voice with the community.
Register now to secure your spot and discover the joy of writing outdoors in community!
