What is this Poetry Coven you ask? It’s a monthly generative poetry workshop I run, there’s an in-person workshop and a online workshop. Here are the details:

Who: You, hopefully!

What: A monthly generative poetry workshop – in-person and online

Where: My house in Arlington, VA (in-person) or online

When: 2nd Tuesday of each month, 7-9pm ET (in-person) or 2nd Wednesday of each month, 7-9pm ET (online)

Why: Because I love writing and spending time with other writers and I love building community. This allows me to do all of those things!

How: Venmo (@courtney-leblanc-poet) or PayPal $10-20, along with your email address, no later than the 2nd Sunday of the month (2 days before we meet up). Once payment is confirmed, I’ll send you the poems we’ll be reading/discussing that month and the address! One scholarship will be awarded per month to member of the BIPOC, LGBTQIA +, non-binary, and/or disabled communities who cannot afford to attend (email me to request this, please kindly only request it if you are truly unable to pay).

PLEASE NOTE: The cost for the online workshop is $20/class. Starting in January 2025  you can also choose the annual membership option for $225. Payment for drop-in is due the Sunday before the workshop (3 days before we meet online).

For the in-person workshop – during cold/hot/inclement weather we’ll be inside, up two short flights of stairs. We’ll be in my backyard as weather permits!
