Calling all writers who teach and teachers who write. Ours Poetica, a writing workshop for educators is meeting on *Sunday, November 24th 12:00pm-2:00pm at Blue Cactus Press (1901 Jefferson Ave.)* Rachel Wiley will lead us in the workshop Art as Argument & Poetry as Protest. We will view art and poems that have protest themes and create our own works in response to a social justice issue we are passionate about. (And maybe even perform them for each other.)
