Thank you to all the talented writers and generous listeners for a beautiful night that raised $140 for Work.Shop expenses. 🙌

Feather and Cotton...readings by local writers, poets, storytellers. Mikhayla Robinson Smith, Ellie Swensson, Joey Rose, John Barner and Lisa Yaconelli. We heard words with music, words folded in a back pocket, words from journals and rough drafts, daily poetry practice and erasure, words with breath, drawings, and zines, and then we wrote together 💖Thanks to everyone who shared the evening with us and contributed to Work.Shop. We have one more month on Winston Drive and then we are moving!!
