February Writers Night: Hidden Treasures Writing Workshop with Lisa Wence Connors

Have you ever noticed the treasure trove of language swirling around you every day? How many fabulous and unexpected words and phrases are you allowing to just slip past you? Workshop presenter and poet Lisa Wence Connors will discuss strategies for finding those hidden gems, organizing them, and enhancing your writing.

This is a generative workshop, not confined to poetry. At the conclusion of the workshop, each attendee will be able to produce new work based on hidden treasures taken from the materials provided in the workshop and to revise old work with an emphasis on unexpected language.

Join us on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, from 6-7:30 pm at The Art Center at 7th and Orchard in Grand Junction.
