Did you grow up hearing a beloved poem? Have you ever wanted to recite a cherished fragment of a story?

This is a workshop for those who wish to honor the stories and poems they love by committing them to memory. You choose the text in the language of your choice—be it a series of poems in English, a story, or a favorite passage in a language you’re studying—and join a group of like-minded folks on a journey to memorize and learn to recite the literature that they cherish.

Whether you share the recitation with us in class or challenge yourself to make a recording you can be proud of, the goal remains: To take the literature we love from the page and learn to carry it in the heart.
