Join us as we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month with curated poems of our LGBTQ+ ancestors. For adults.

Poems from Pat Parker, Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Andrea Gibson, Alan Ginsberg, and others will inspire our own writing in this class. No experience needed, just bring your writing instruments and come with curiosity!

Light refreshments provided by the Friends of the West Hollywood Library.
