🕐 Time: 1:00 PM (Doors open at 12:45. We have a 15-minute grace period, after which we can’t allow late arrivals into the session.)

📍 Location: 131 Spring Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY

🎟️ RSVP here – Seating is limited, so don’t wait! All writers 21+ are welcome.

📚 Mandatory reading: Envelopes of Air by Ada Limon and Natalie Diaz (Members have access to all readings for the year. Click here to become a member!)

While reading, think about: How do Limón and Diaz use setting to express emotion and memory? What happens when setting becomes part of identity? We will discuss our thoughts during the meeting!

We hope to see you there <3
