Write Home Workshops led by Trapeta Mayson

Germantown-based poet and Liberian immigrant Trapeta B. Mayson hosted two poetry workshops at the Joseph E. Coleman Northwest Philadelphia Regional Library inviting participants to read and write poetry inspired by themes in An Immigrant Alphabet.

Trapeta utilized music, poetry, and visual art to inspire creativity in both experienced and new writers prompting them to explore migrations— new beginnings, transitional periods, immigration, family histories, displacement and citizenship.
