For adults
The theme for this year’s National Poetry Day is ‘play’. Celebrate by joining award winning poet Romalyn Ante for this generative workshop, where you’ll journey through the playful echoes of childhood—those moments filled with laughter, curiosity, and boundless imagination.
Together, we’ll uncover how time transforms these memories, revealing new meanings beneath the surface.
Through creative prompts, readings, and shared reflection, you’ll craft poems that capture the joy, challenges, and bittersweetness of growing up and looking back with fresh eyes.
A special workshop to celebrate National Poetry Day.
