Robert Ackerson is back to lead the poetry group! Open to anyone who loves to write and listen to poetry!

This class is about reading,writing and discussing poetry. It is an open class, less structure allows for more creativity. The seniors chose this style of class. It is more enjoyable for them. The members are of all three levels mentioned in the above question. The class is open for all members.

You need to register ONLY ONCE for this class. After registering you will get a link weekly to the class.

This writing group is for anyone who likes to write, likes to share, and enjoys creating both memoir and fictional writing. Every week I give a prompt to focus on, and the following week everyone has a chance to share what he/she has written. There is time, then, to comment by picking a phrase or sentence that stood out for the listener as exceptional or reminiscent.

If you are interested in joining send an email to info@rssny.org

In this workshop, we will be focusing on personal memories. However, there will be occasions when we will try a bit of different types of poetry, some fiction, and some journalistic writing, such as news reports, Dear Abby columns, opinion pieces, and human interest stories.

The class will be led by Susan Guzman who also leads the WriteOn! class.

This class will be limited to 10 people.
