Our Common Ground

Literature & Poetry with People & Stories

People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos presents an eight-week program of literature, poetry, discussion and writing.

From the presenters:

Join us for a 90-minute "magical experience" that may change the way you look at yourself and others. Listen or read along with a literary short story & poem read aloud by talented P&S/GyC Coordinator Ellie, followed by a lively and interesting discussion and weekly writing prompts.

A visit from a surprise published poet, as well as an anthology created from participant works, will be provided to all attendees at the program’s conclusion.

All materials provided, including certificates of completion, anthology, and a select book of poetry for those who attend at least four sessions.

Sponsored in part by the Poetry Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos and presented with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this programming do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
