Friends,

Thanks to everyone who made it out to our workshops and readings in Cambridge this month! Last week, we missed some of you but ten Warrior Writers left with some great work generated in the walking poetry workshop with Fred Marchant and Kevin Bowen. Caleb Nelson set up a reddit for Warrior Writers. If you're into it, head over there to continue the conversation and receive new writing prompts!

Our Longfellow series continues and will culminate with our annual Warrior Writers Retreat and reading on the Longfellow House lawn in June. In addition to bringing friends from our communities around the country, we'll be celebrating Warrior Writers' tenth birthday at this year's retreat – don't miss out! REGISTER NOW to reserve your spot and receive updates with the full schedule.
