Poetry Workshop & Open Reading

Interested in poetry?

Join us for a one-hour generative poetry workshop led by Gregory Luce. The workshop will use prompts and examples to create new poems, and will be followed by an open reading.

Gregory Luce is the author of “Signs of Small Grace,” “Drinking Weather, Memory and Desire,” “Tile,” Riffs & Improvisations,” and “Smells Like Rain.” His poems have appeared in numerous print and online journals, and in several anthologies, including “Written in Arlington” (Paycock Press) and “This Is What America Looks Like” (Washington Writers Publishing House). In 2014, he was awarded the Larry Neal Award for adult poetry by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities. In addition, he serves as poetry editor for The Mid-Atlantic Review and co-editor of Washington Unbound. He writes a monthly column for Scene4, an online arts journal. Retired from the National Geographic Society, he lives in Arlington, VA, and works as a volunteer writing tutor/mentor for 826DC.
