Somerville Poetry Workshop

Thu. Jan. 08, 2026 at 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Weekly Feedback ♦ Visiting Poets ♦ Inspiring Readings

Somerville is a great town for poets and writers, of all levels. This discussion-based workshop aims to provide a forum for poets who have never stopped writing to new poets or poets who need to get back into writing and hearing new ideas.

Each session will begin with two city poets or winter poems, and classes will end with twenty-minute readings by visiting poets. Topics will include form, line, structure, generative writing, and notebooks.

Flexible pricing. Taught by local MFA faculty.

Dates: January 8, January 15, January 21

Pub Sing

Thu. Jan. 08, 2026 at 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Based on a traditional English pub sing, but with a bit of an American flavor, this session is open to all singers who want to join in with chorus songs that are easy to learn and fun to sing.

We love the fine old drinking songs and know plenty of sea chanteys and chorus songs from the British Isles and New England — but anything goes as long as it’s fun and has a chorus or refrain that people can pick up.

Bring a song to share!
