Welcome to Words Move Mountains: Poetry & Storytelling Class

Malden's Poet Laureate CD Collins believes in the power of poems and stories to illuminate passages across a variety of cultures and perspectives.

Using generative techniques, class participants will articulate their visions through poetry and story in a safe environment where all participant's voices are welcome. Sharing and listening creates connections, empathy, and gathers us in community. CD will then work individually with participants to choose a poem or story to revise, polish, and prepare for public presentation.


Date: Tuesdays, April 1, 8, 15 and 29, 2025

Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)
