Somerville Poetry Workshop

Wed. Mar. 18, 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: March 4, March 18, March 25

Songwriters in the Round

Wed. Mar. 18, 2026 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

1st & 3rd Wednesdays at ROOTED Cafe at 7 PM

Four songwriters take the stage, seated in a comfortable semi-circle. They take turns playing songs, occasionally joining in with each other on harmony vocals or guitar licks. The format encourages conversation between the writers, which gives the audience an opportunity to hear these creative people talk as if in their own living rooms. Inspired by the “guitar pulls” of the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville.

You might hear a young up-and-coming pro, an established mid-career performer and mentor, and a cherished elder of the scene — all sharing music. The growing relationships will warm your heart and enrich your soul. Come every week as the lineup shifts and new friends are made.

Hosted by Somerville singer/songwriter David Thorne Scott. Held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Donations welcome.

Part of the ROOTED Armory Café Series. Café menu is available here. Beer and wine also available!
