NOMA Creative Assembly member Daniel Fitzpatrick leads a poetry workshop. Work together with other participants to bring poems into the next stage of the creative process. Registration required.
Before the event, registered participants will be contacted to send in the poem they want workshopped.
Due to limited space, participants may only sign up for one workshop.
All poets who participate in the workshop will be invited to share their work at a public reading at NOMA on October 9th at 5pm to celebrate the poetic life of New Orleans, its people, and its places.

Born in New Orleans, he studied philosophy at the University of Dallas, and he holds an MA in philosophy from Holy Apostles College and an MPhil in creative writing from Trinity College Dublin.

In 2016, Mid-City Library relocated to The Automotive Life Insurance Company Building. Built in 1963, this mid-century modern gem was designed by Curtis & Davis Architects, who are also known for designing the Superdome and the Main Library on Loyola Ave. In 2010, the building was recognized as a historic landmark by the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission.
