Stuck in a rut writing about the same topics over and over again? Never written a poem before, but want to try it out? Come check out this workshop!
About the teaching artist:
As a performer, Lissa Piercy has featured and performed at various venues in and around Boston, including the "if you can Feel it, you can Speak it" open mic (The Milky Way, Jamaica Plain), "The Lost Voices of Boston" open mic (The Middle East, Cambridge) and "Lifted Boston" (Good Life, Boston).
