Ruth Thompson will kick off National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) with a talk on writing poetry and prompts for you to try each week in the month ahead. (You will not be showing your work to anyone, so go for it!) At the end of the month, Ruth will talk about her own practice and read from her new work, answer your questions and offer guidance for continuing your writing.

The author of three books of poetry, Ruth Thompson also teaches “Body Speaking” workshops and runs Saddle Road Press. Ruth’s work has won many national awards, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and has been published in numerous journals.
