Poetry Workshop: What Makes a Poem a Poem? Sunday, April 26th from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. What transforms a handful of words into something that startles, moves, or stays with us? What makes a poem more than prose broken into lines? In this welcoming workshop for teens and adults, we’ll explore the craft choices—sound, rhythm, imagery, voice, and line—that turn everyday language into art. Come curious—and leave with a deeper understanding of what makes a poem a poem, and perhaps one of your own. Register here. 

Local Author Talk with Dr. Maryam Kamali Monday, April 27th from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Iran is in the midst of a nationwide revolution that began in late December 2025. The Iranian people took to the streets, waving the lion and sun flags across the country. The Islamic Republic regime responded by shutting down the internet and killing tens of thousands of defenseless people. Please join us in this illuminating talk with author Dr. Maryam Kamali, who published her memoir, An Iranian Woman Passing Through the Age of Darkness. Her memoir vividly depicts her life journey from a small town in Iran and the everyday lives of Iranian people who seek to live in peace and prosperity, yet whose voices are being silenced.
