UPCOMING EVENT

Nebraska Poetry Retreat

October 5-8, 2023
Norfolk Lodge & Suites

A retreat cleverly disguised as a conference (wink, wink!). Don’t worry, though, because you can make the weekend whatever you need it to be. And regardless of what you call it, it’s a great opportunity for poets across the region to come together in a safe, nurturing, educational environment.
 
Whether you’re interested in the classes or you simply want an escape from the everyday where you can be still and find some inspiration, the Nebraska Poetry Retreat has something for you. The benefits of attending are many, not only to you, the poet, but also to you, the person.
 
Your day will begin with activities to jumpstart your creativity and end with a night of entertainment. In between are workshops to educate and inspire with plenty of time to relax, rejuvenate, and, most importantly, to write. We hope you join us.
