2025 Celebrations

Jackson Hole Writers celebrates the love of writing with special events that invite participants to work closely with inspiring writers to generate new writing that might surprise, motivate and energize your creative practice.

We see these celebrations as focusing on a core component of the writing process. If our conference emphasizes the skills and steps necessary to pursue publication, and our craft classes and critique groups help writers build skills and find community in the writer’s life, our celebrations focus on the joy and passion we experience as writers when making new work. The writing process can be challenging. Our celebrations honor that it can also be FUN!

About This Class

Announcing a series of poetry workshops
10:00 – 11:30 on Mondays, February 2 – March 30, 2026
Senior Center of Jackson Hole
Workshop leader: Susan Marsh

The goal for this series is to help people appreciate and feel comfortable with poetry if they are unsure of themselves, give them fun exercises for practice, and introduce some basics, depending on the group’s experience and interest.

The workshop leader, Susan Marsh, brings examples and prompts to each class, and ask participants to work on something during the week to share at the next class if they want. The final session on March 30 will be a public reading at the Senior Center for those in the class who want to share their work.
