A group of writers have been working with acclaimed author Adam Wyeth in a series of weekly workshops. The format on Wednesday night will consist of Geraldine reading one or two poems in between each presentation by a member of the Creative Writing Workshop, followed by a short interlude of music and meditation, and then another “round” of readings.
