Join Qwert Poetry for a hands-on poetry workshop inspired by nature, community, and the world around us, on the historic lawn of the Lott House.

In this workshop, you'll explore poetry from the first idea to the finished piece. We'll use both traditional writing methods and vintage-style typewriters. You'll get to create your own poem, try out different styles, and type your final version on a typewriter. This workshop is a chance to be creative, reflect, and connect with your surroundings. It's a unique way to slow down, write with care, and experience poetry in a hands-on way. We'll provide everything you need, including paper, envelopes, and wax seals. You don't need any poetry or writing experience to join us. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to try something new. Registration is required. This event is open to anyone 16 and older.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
