Here's a little taste of the online poetry workshop we hosted recently with acclaimed writer Tess Rowley. In this workshop, Tess read a poem she created especially for this session, discussed where she draws the inspiration for her writing, and gave our participants some tips for writing their own poetry. We regularly host workshops with special guests for our participants. Curious about the different programs and clubs we run for older Australians?
