Writers Helping Writers
~~~
Poetry and Song
~~~
Kate Adams will lead us on a foray into the song behind the poetry—the same song behind prose but more explicit, the song a poem brings to the surface, which prose writers as well need to be attuned to. Together, we will search for the “dolphin word”—and, she promises, will find it.
Kate Adams is the poetry editor for Fault Zone, the SF Peninsula California Writers Club anthology. This anthology has won national awards.

About Writers Helping Writers at
San Mateo Public Library
The San Francisco Peninsula branch of CWC hosts a Writers Helping Writers program at the San Mateo Public Library on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8 pm. This event is managed by CWC member David Strom and co-sponsored by Tuula Laine, a librarian at the library and a member of the San Francisco Peninsula CWC.
Each month, CWC SF Peninsula branch members share learned techniques and experiences in their craft. From scoping out your memoir to finding inspiration for a poem to plotting your novel to learning the ins and outs of blogging—we teach what we’ve learned. This is an opportunity for all writers to meet and share their experiences.
Our purpose? To pass on what we’ve discovered to help other writers.
Anyone can attend, free of charge.
Watch this space for announcements of the month’s topic. Meetings are in-person only.
