We need new words for what this is, this hunger entering our loneliness like birds, stunning our eyes into rays of hope. We need the flutter that can save us, something that will swirl across the face of what we have become and bring us grace. – Lucille Clifton 

Inspired by Lucille Clifton’s quote above, Indiana Writers Center and UnLearn Arts have collaborated to create a 3-workshop series, focusing on dreaming, joy, and wellness that will inspire its participants to dream of new worlds through poetry in Indianapolis.

The Indiana Writers Center would like to thank the Poetry Foundation for sponsoring this program. We would also like to thank our community partners UnLearn Arts and Marian University for helping make this programming possible.
