“While being involved in the poetry scene in town, we've had people ask us about poetry workshops
and if there is one available,” said Woods. “The idea is for the workshop to be compact, but filled with
useful knowledge to help the poets to take their work to the next level.”
The MAC is located at 107 High Street beside of Hotel Morgan. Following the workshop, the Second
Annual Brewhaha will be held in downtown Morgantown. This one-of-a-kind event brings together
