Erotic Poetry Workshop for Survivors
The wise women at Early to Bed are holding an erotic poetry workshop in the hopes of using the artform to "explore the ways we can shed some of the shame that blocks our potential for joy."

Call 773-271-1219 or email searah[at]early2bed[dot]com for registration and information. 6:30pm at 5232 N. Sheridan Rd.
