All Abilities Online Poetry Workshop

When: 11 – 1pm the last Sunday of the month
Where: Online via zoom through WA Poets Inc

All Abilities is a monthly online poetry workshop run by WA Poets Inc and hosted by Karen Lowry for those for who identify as having a disability and/or have access requirements that limit participation to in-person WA Poets Inc events. Everyone is welcome. Each workshop will start with a writing exercise to warm up. Participants can then share their own work-in-progress for feedback. Work can be shared in zoom by reading in out loud yourself, by having the facilitator read it out on your behalf, by sharing the written work on your screen, or by sharing the work in the chat. Zoom uses closed captioning. If you have any other access requirements, please email ahead of time. You can also share you work in advance via email to have the facilitator manage sharing it with the workshop group.

2025 Theme – Poetic Forms
