Ghazal Poetry Workshop & Reading

Join the poets Charlotte Seley and Crystal Stone for a communal poetry experience. Learn about the poetic form of the ghazal and create with like-minded, seeking, artistic people. Share couplets together with a shared radif and then have a chance to ask questions about the writing process, publishing, and making a career as a poet from two established poets.
