In this poetry writing workshop, we will explore the concept of “the third place,” i.e., where we hang out besides home and school. What are our favorite third places? What makes for a great third place? Are stimulating, safe and supportive third places hard to find? We will write and improvise about third places, share our work, and collectively discuss how to find or create more excellent third places. Facilitated by young poets, Rose America Garcia and Vivian Owens.
