WELCOME TO THE OTTER CREEK POETS! For over 20 years a group of poets has met weekly in the library to discuss our work together. Currently we hold “hybrid” meetings, for both in-person attendees and others online through Zoom. The workshop’s emphasis is to help each other improve the effectiveness of their new and revised work. Sharing your writing is rewarding, but isn’t always easy. The Otter Creek Poets know how to be supportive of both the poet and the poem. Writers and aspiring writers of all ages and levels of experience are welcome, as are poems in all forms and styles. The workshop is free to all. For more information, and for the Zoom link required to log-in, contact David Weinstock by email at david.weinstock@gmail.com, or by phone and text at 802-989-4314.
