When was the last time you wrote someone a letter? Or received one? When was the last time you truly communicated with someone you didn’t already know?

Julia Bouwsma has created a Maine-wide epistolary poetry project that 1) introduces the form through a series of 20+ free public workshops across the state during the fall and early winter of 2024 and then 2) pairs up participating individuals as “poetry pen pals” to communicate with one another over a period of months. Simply put, this project will pair together people in different parts of Maine to exchange letter poems.

As part of the Write ME project, current Belfast poet laureate, Maya Stein, will lead a free epistolary poetry workshop at Waterfall Arts. For more information about this project go here and to register for this event go here.
