The Free Generative Writing Workshops zoom to you at home! Alexia Arthurs leads this month's session. Everyone's welcome! Email Lisa at iowacitypoetry@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link.

Co-sponsored by Prompt Press and Iowa City Poetry, the Free Generative Writing Workshops provide a space for career writers, curious beginners, writers of all income levels and stages of life. Our goal is to make it easy to meet and learn from some of the most talented writer/teachers living in or passing through Iowa City. Every month a new writer leads a generative workshop, presenting a prompt inspired by their own preoccupations, passions, or interests. It has been an adventure, and we are continually inspired by the creative concentration of participants, and the powerful beginnings the workshop generates.
