Lovers and dreamers alike: come write in the space of Dearly Studio, candle lit, under the disco balls of Bow Market, for an evening of easy-going drinks and love poetry. No sodden sonnets here. Never touched a pen in your life? Welcome! You still have words to speak to woo your friends and lovers. It’s about time you write them down. Tix HERE!

Writer & educator Zinnia Smith will guide you through new and exciting verses of intimate expression, and encourage you along the way as you write poetry to be shared with partners or dear friends. (Romance can be platonic, after all.) Write a love poem to yourself, Samantha Jones. Draft those wedding vows. Find inspiration. The first half of this 2-hour session will be an introduction to contemporary love poetry, so if you’ve always been curious “what’s poetry about anyhow?” now’s your chance to f*ck around and find out. We’ll then dive into writing prompts. Music will be played, drinks can be purchased at the Dearly Studio bar. Nobody will make you read anything aloud. You’ll leave with a poem draft in your pocket and floating on a pink cloud of romantic inspiration.
