Mark Thalman, teacher, poet and author of Catching the Limit will teach a poetry writing workshop at the Forest Grove Senior/Community Center in Forest Grove, Oregon, on Monday, July 27.

Mark is a “poet of place” who writes to include his reader in his experience of Nature’s sights, sounds and colors. With more than thirty years of teaching experience, Mark will prompt the group to write and help them learn to polish their own work.

Workshop sessions will be 10 to noon, with a break for lunch. Afternoon session from 1 to 3.

There are two sessions and the fees will be free for members of Writers in the Grove for morning session, others $5. The afternoon session will be an additional $5. The entire day is $10 for non-members and $5 for members. All are welcome to attend.
