Gathering Words: A Poetry Workshop with Wendy McVicker

Join us for an inspiring morning of poetic exploration with Ohio’s Premier Poet, Wendy McVicker. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or simply curious about the magic of language, Gathering Words is a welcoming space to reflect, create, and connect.

In Gathering Words, Wendy McVicker guides participants through the art of attentive listening—to the world, to memory, and to the quiet stirrings within. Through gentle prompts, shared readings, and open conversation, you’ll uncover the poetry waiting in your own voice. This workshop celebrates the joy of discovery, the power of metaphor, and the beauty of saying just enough.

Expect a blend of writing, reflection, and community. Bring a notebook, a pen, and your curiosity. No prior experience required—just a willingness to gather words and see where they lead.
