Calliope—poetry craft workshops
in collaboration with West Falmouth Library
Calliope – Poetry Readings at West Falmouth Library is celebrating its fourth anniversary this January. Our series has grown by leaps and bounds and we are grateful to all the wonderful featured poets and open mike readers who have read thus far. This year, Calliope’s theme is “From First Draft to Feature” and is supporting the development of poetic craft through a series of three workshops. Plans are also in the works for a series on The Performance of Poetry, especially aimed for featured and open mike readers to develop their own, and effective style of relating to the audience. And more good news, Calliope recently received a grant from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod to host a summer reading in collaboration with the Featherstone Poetry Series on Martha’s Vineyard. More news later.
