Summer 2021 Class Information |
Spring is literally and metaphorically a time of growth and renewal. This spring, we also welcome the COVID-19 vaccines that will help all of us stay better protected. Slowly and carefully, we can begin to emerge from isolation and find new ways of being in the world together.
Although the progress being made is promising, critical safety protocols are still in place regarding assembly in groups. Masks are still necessary, as is some level of physical distancing. Every day, we're getting closer to the time when we can gather in-person at Women Writing for (a) Change. But we're not fully there yet. The delivery method for Summer programming will vary.

Celebrate National Poetry Month with Us One Prompt at a Time! |
For the month of April, let's connect through 30 days of writing prompts, brought to you by our friend and facilitator, Christine Wilson. WE'LL post the daily prompt every morning on the WWf(a)C Facebook page and Instagram account. YOU drop your favorite handcrafted readback line from that day's writing in the comments.
We'll celebrate our month of creative abundance with a free community readaround, to be held via Zoom on Thursday, May 6, from 7-8:30 pm. More info to follow soon.
So check our Facebook page or Instagram account each morning at 9 am throughout April. Roll up your sleeves, put your poetry cap on, grab your favorite pen or keyboard, and let's celebrate! |

Founder's Circle Appreciation Evening
On March 15th, WWf(a)C collectively recognized Founder's Circle and Founder's Anniversary Circle donors for the added level of support provided to Women Writing for (a) Change. In appreciation, Founder Mary Pierce Brosmer offered a complimentary writing circle, Memoir: Meaning-Making in the Midst. This appreciation event, typically held at WWf(a)C after a brief reception and light supper, was virtual for the second year in a row.
Founder's Circle/Anniversary Circle support in 2020 amounted to $64,594. This provided almost 24% of the budget needed to run all aspects of Women Writing for (a) Change, including writing circles, scholarships, youth programs and outreach. Much gratitude to these and all the loyal friends of WWf(a)C!

Get To Know
Tracy K. Smith
|
Welcome to our monthly series, Get to Know! Here, we'll turn the spotlight on contemporary poets and writers, with the goal of amplifying underrepresented voices in literature.
There's a good chance you're familiar with Tracy K. Smith; a U.S. Poet Laureate, Pulitzer Prize winning poet, and National Book Award non-fiction finalist, she teaches creative writing at Princeton and hosted the daily poetry podcast, The Slowdown. Like every poet--certainly, each poet we have looked at thus far in this series--Smith explores universally fundamental questions, in a way that is utterly unique to her.
