Pressure Makes Diamonds | Poetry Workshop with Joseph Coleman
Saturday, April 25 • 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
@ Freeport Community Library
In this workshop, “Pressure Makes Diamonds,” students will use the pressure of workshopping an original poem and then reading that poem at an open mike that same evening. The instructor will provide prompts and each student will get a typewriter if they would like to experience what it was like pre computers. As a Barnum and Bailey Ring Master would yell out when a rogue elephant dashed for the exits: “The Show Must Go On!” or in this case: “Poems Must Be Read!”

As we do every spring, the Wolf's Neck Club will be selling perennials from our gardens as a fundraiser. This year we will also have a Bake Sale on Saturday morning. The sale will be Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17, 9-5, at the intersection of Birch Point and Wolf's Neck Roads. For a successful Plant and Bake Sale, we need plants and baked goods and people to buy them.
With participation from the club’s members, we can pull it off. It’s not hard or complicated, and it can be fun. We hope you can pitch in with outreach for the sale and in coming up with plants and baked goods to sell.
