Green Way’s new Craft Talk series invites writers to talk about the books they love and the craft elements that make them work. These brief lectures are followed by audience Q&A. After the craft talk, we’re opening up space for our community to share original work. We have 10 open mic spots available for June 1st. Want to share a poem? Email trbjohnson1@gmail.com to get on the list!
