True to its name, the Community of Writers offers a sense of camaraderie with other writers that I have never experienced anywhere else. Our workshop leaders were thoughtful and constructive, offering sensitive, insightful comments while maintain a warm and nurturing tone throughout. The challenge of writing a new poem every day could have been isolating; at the Community of Writers, however, it felt exhilarating. Inspired by the level of talent and the solidarity I felt with my classmates, I was empowered to take creative risks and let my work grow in new directions.
