Greetings, all Pagoda Writers!!
Join us next weekend at the Yocum Institute for Arts Education (3000 Penn Ave, West Lawn, PA 19609) on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Use the far right entrance and look for us in Art Studio 2. The friendly staff at the desk can assist you, if needed. (Yocum on Google Maps)
This month we present Jayne Brown, retired teacher of writing in California colleges and at Penn State Berks until retiring in 2018. She invites us to celebrate the very recent publication of her 2nd book: The Third Remembrance (Finishing Line Press).
Jayne understands the struggle writers have when asked to present our creative work with others. Her interactive workshop will look at some ways to engage audiences quickly, whether giving a public reading or writing a brief synopsis for a potential publisher. She will read samples from The Third Remembrance, her autobiographical chapbook, and lead a group discussion of various situations we’ve experienced in trying to connect quickly with an audience.
Jayne has been a board member of Berks Bards, and was the 8th Poet Laureate of Berks County. Be sure to check out her full bio and more details about the workshop on our event webpage: https://www.pagodawriters.com/futureevents
As usual, please bring your notepads, creative ideas and questions!
Please take a moment now to send a quick email to pagodawriters@hpl501c3.org and let us know if you plan to come, or even if you’re a “maybe.”
Immediately following our monthly meetings, we have been going to lunch near the institute and would love for you to join us for some lively discussion and casual camaraderie 😊
We hope to see you there!!! Chriss, CJ and Fred Your Pagoda Writers Team
