Poetry Retreat

October 5-8, 2023

Hosted by the Nebraska Poetry Society

A retreat cleverly disguised as a conference (wink, wink!). Don’t worry, though, because you can make the weekend whatever you need it to be. And regardless of what you call it, it’s a great opportunity for poets across the region to come together in a safe, nurturing, educational environment. More about the retreat, workshops, panels, and readings here.
