Join published poets from Caldwell College’s faculty and staff in a trio of poetry writing workshops. Topics are

We will read and discuss sample poems, and each workshop member will have a chance to write original poems. The workshops will be led, respectively, by Maxine Susman, Marion Goldstein, and Sandra Duguid
