Lunch will be provided\, and all participants will receive a complimentary copy of “Songs\, Blood Deep” by Minnesota Poet Laureate Gwen Nell Westerman\, or the Latino Poetry Anthology. \nPending funding\, educators who participate in this workshop will have first access to the Poetry Pathways Programs for the 2025-2026 academic year.
