Once a month, BloomBars hosts Poet-Tree in Bloom, a poetry writing group hosted by Gowri K with visits from guest teaching artists. Plant the seeds for new poetry by free-writing using writing prompts, sharing our work, and getting some practice reading aloud. BloomBars is a safe and encouraging space so don’t be shy, if you're interested, everyone is welcome to give it a try! Please bring paper and pen.
