September 7 • 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
“Architects cannot teach nature anything.” –Mark Twain

Unlock your creativity this fall with an Autumn Themed Poetry Workshop guided by poet and master teaching artist Victoria Nordlund. Explore the vivid hues and crisp scents of September, as you delve into the art of crafting evocative autumnal poetry in the gardens and grounds of the Mark Twain House. Welcoming writers of all levels, this workshop offers a nurturing environment to explore themes of change, renewal, and the essence of autumn.

Tickets: $15 regular admission/$10 for museum members

While there is some covered and open seating outside, bring a blanket or folding chair so you can settle into your perfect writing spot on the museum grounds.

Her poetry collections Wine-Dark Sea and Binge Watching Winter on Mute are published by Main Street Rag. She is a Best of the Net and Pushcart Prize Nominee, whose work has appeared in PANK Magazine, Rust+Moth, Chestnut Review, Pidgeonholes, Connecticut Literary Anthology, Maudlin House, trampset, and elsewhere.
