Workshops

Join us in Cape May to begin a few poems or work on a story, play, novel, creative essay, song, ceramic sculpture or visual image during the three-day holiday weekend honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway is well known for its challenging and supportive atmosphere which encourages imaginative risk taking and promotes freedom and transformation in participants’ creative work.
