Scotts Valley Library Kicks Off New Year With Free Poetry Workshop

The workshop, held for writers of all backgrounds, begins on Jan. 19.

Have a New Year’s Resolution to unleash your inner creativity?

Santa Cruz County Libraries are here to assist -- for free -- with a series of poetry writing workshops taught by Magdalena Montagne, a local poet and teacher.

A class takes place at the Scotts Valley Library the third Saturday of every month from 2 to 4 p.m. starting on January 19 and stretching until June 15.

Montagne has been leading poetry workshops for over ten years, often to students who have never written a poem before.

“I have been discovering my voice in poetry ever since enrolling in Magdalena’s workshop and really, really loving it,” a student in one of her classes wrote. “Magdalena has a welcoming spirit that allows for self-expression, experimentation and artful crafting.”
