## About this plan

The Street Is Poetry is a writing workshop that turns the city into raw material for your words. It asks you to look at the neighborhoods, the corners, and the people walking by, then turn those scenes into poems about what most people miss.

It is a space to write, read aloud, and share what you find while walking through your part of town. The format is group based, so you do not need any experience. Bring nothing but the urge to play with words.

Seats are limited because of the workshop format. Reserve your spot early through the official source.

- Creative writing and poetry workshop
- Read the city like a sensory map
- A gathering to read and share your texts
- Free activity at BibloRed
- Limited spots available

## Who it's for

Anyone interested in creative writing, poetry, and literary workshops who wants to explore the city through the written word, whether you already write or are trying it for the first time.
