Writing and healing are two things we are often taught to do alone, but we are more resilient, more imaginative, and more hopeful when we do these things in community.  Join Poet Laureate Brandy Nālani McDougall in a poetry writing workshop that asks us to believe in writing and healing as actions best explored when we embrace them together.

Writing supplies will be provided thanks to the support of Maui Friends of the Library.

Kula born and raised, Brandy Nālani McDougall (Kanaka `Ōiwi, she / her / ’o ia) is the author of two poetry collections, The Salt-Wind: Ka Makani Pa’akai (2008) and ʻĀina Hānau / Birth Land (2023).  She is the Hawai’i Poet Laureate for 2023-2025 and lives with her keiki in Kalaepōhaku in the ahupua’a of Waikīkī, O’ahu.
