Trapeta Mayson leads Poetry Workshops presented by Al Bustan

Trapeta Mayson (ACG '14, LTA '07) leads WRITE HOME Workshops, inspired by Al Bustan’s An Immigrant Alphabet installation, inviting teens and adults to read and write poems about migrations — new beginnings, transitional periods, immigration, family histories, displacement and citizenship.

What memories, experiences and stories about “home” are you holding? This is the place to tell it and write it.

Led by Germantown-based poet and Liberian immigrant Trapeta B. Mayson, these workshops are open to everyone – no writing or poetry experience required.  Participants will spend time generating poems that sing and celebrate home and identity through guided exercises and free writing. It will be an inspiring and affirming afternoon – so bring your imagination!

Dates: Sundays, March 4 and March 18, 2018

Time: 1:00 – 3:00pm

Location: Coleman Library in Germantown:  68 W Chelten Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19144

Admission: FREE
