Friendship Love Poem Workshop

The Friendship Love Poem Workshop is an interactive creative session where participants write personalized love poems for their friends. Hosted by Forevers founders Sam Amberg and Erin Greenawald, this event celebrates platonic affection through the art of poetry as part of the broader Friendship Fest in Raleigh-Durham.

Attendees will participate in warmup exercises designed to spark inspiration and explore various styles of poetry. The session includes a mini reading of curated friendship poems, guided writing instruction, and hands-on decoration of finished pieces. Participants will leave with a meaningful gift for a friend. During the event, guests can also browse a selection of friendship books, contribute to a community poetry project, and collect free zines at the pop-up station.

This workshop is open to everyone, regardless of writing experience or poetic skill level. The atmosphere is relaxed, creative, and centered on building community through intentional connection. Whether you are an experienced writer or a beginner, this event offers a unique opportunity to honor your friendships. Join us to create a lasting tribute for someone you care about.
