Featuring Robin Carstensen
Hosted by Cindy Huyser
Join us for August's edition of our monthly poetry reading -- and bring poems to share at the open mic! This month, our featured poet is Robin Carstensen.
When her father’s death leaves the family financially strapped, Nikki, a law school dropout, impulsively takes a job teaching a "creative writing" course at the community center in the beating heart of London’s close-knit Punjabi community. Because of a miscommunication, the proper Sikh widows who show up are expecting to learn basic English literacy, not the art of short-story writing. Eager to liberate these modest women, she teaches them how to express their untold stories, unleashing creativity of the most unexpected—and exciting—kind.
We typically meet the fourth Thursday of every month. New members are always welcome. Join us!
