Creative Writers Guild

The Creative Writers Guild April meeting will be part of the special National Poetry Month events at the Lawrenceburg Main Library. The suggested prompt for the month is to write a poem to read at the Poetry Slam!

You can be part of one or both of the following events. Register only if you want a Zoom link. Otherwise just show up!

Here are the two events:

English Professor Emeritus Ron Nicholson will present Ten Poems that Rocked the World in celebration of National Poetry Month.

Learn some background on how poetry can affect society, notes on the authors, a reading of each piece, and some context/explanation/tidbits as well as some anecdotes. Robert Frost, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes and more. 

You can attend this event in-person at the Lawrenceburg Main Library or request a Zoom link. Must register to receive a Zoom link. 

After his presentation, the Friends of the Lawrenceburg Public Library District will present a Poetry Slam starting at 7 p.m. You can attend both or either program. If you stay, you are welcome to read a poem you have written in-person or over Zoom. There will be several prize drawings during the Poetry Slam.

During the months of March and April, Lawrenceburg Main Library will be a drop-off location for the Rattle Roundup- in memory of Ron Nicholson's late grandson, Oliver. Drop off new baby rattles in their original packaging to be donated to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
