The Mattapoisett Free Public Library will host “A Writer's Day Away” on Sunday, April 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year's writing leaders are the poets Scott Withiam and Barbara Siegel Carlson. Both are published in literary journals, have collections of poetry, and have taught writing.

There will be a morning meet-and-greet over coffee and pastries provided by Uncle Jon's Coffees. Then Scott and Barbara will offer ideas for the day's writing. Participants will begin their own writing and share their ideas at noon. After a 45-minute lunch, Scott and Barbara will read their poetry.

Space is limited, and registration is required. You can contact the library at 508 758-4171. The workshop is free and donations to the Friends of the Mattapoisett Library are most appreciated.
