Registration is required. The workshop cost is $150 and includes all five sessions. Registration deadline is March 10. About the workshop:  In the dark times, will there be singing? Yes, there will be singing - of the dark times.  - Bertolt Brecht When poet-playwright Bertolt Brecht wrote these words in exile during the rise of Nazi Germany, he recognized the power of art to persist, even in the face of despair. In our own era of upheaval - marked by relentless challenges and  biblical weather  that tests our resilience - poetry remains a vital force. Join award-winning poet Rick Hilles for a transformative workshop exploring how joy and resilience can emerge through poetic expression. Guided by the belief that, as Toi Derricotte said,  Joy is a form of resistance,  we will read, write, and share poems that bear witness to these truths. Together, we'll embrace the call to, as Samuel Beckett put it,  put our stains upon the silence.  Whether you are a seasoned poet or new to writing, this workshop is a space to explore creativity as a balm and a beacon in challenging times.
