Writers Helping Writers
Kate Adams
The Song Beyond
Kate Adams leads us through an experience of poetry, what she calls “The Song Beyond.” By listening for the music behind a particular poem, she invites us to enter that space where the Muse appears, where we allow “dolphin” words to arise in response, to “come up for air.” Taking poetry as the foundation of literature—both historically and linguistically—we’ll experience a poem’s distillation of language; that experience can open us to our own flow in fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose.
Kate Adams is the poetry editor for Fault Zone, an anthology created by the San Francisco Peninsula Branch of the California Writers Club.

About Writers Helping Writers at
San Mateo Public Library
The San Francisco Peninsula branch of CWC hosts a Writers Helping Writers program at the San Mateo Public Library on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8 pm. This event is managed by CWC member David Strom and co-sponsored by Tuula Laine, a librarian at the library and a member of the San Francisco Peninsula CWC.
Each month, CWC SF Peninsula branch members share learned techniques and experiences in their craft. From scoping out your memoir to finding inspiration for a poem to plotting your novel to learning the ins and outs of blogging—we teach what we’ve learned. This is an opportunity for all writers to meet and share their experiences.
Our purpose? To pass on what we’ve discovered to help other writers.
Anyone can attend, free of charge.
Watch this space for announcements of the month’s topic. Meetings are in-person only.
