Description:

Join the D.C. Creative Writing Workshop for an the best Valentine's Day celebration ever--Show a little love for the young poets from the Southeast as they perform poetry on stage!

Students from Charles Hart Middle School, Ballou Senior High, and beyond, will be reading their original poems from hArtworks, the nation's only inner-city public middle school literary magazine.

The D.C. Creative Writing Workshop, based in the Congress Heights neighborhood of Southeast D.C., unites parents, teachers and professional writers-in-residence to transform the lives of youth through self-expression and the power of the written word.

Free and open to all!
