April is poetry month, and throughout San Luis Obispo County local artists have been performing and workshopping their poems.
Local poets have been sharing their writings all month in workshops, on small stages and in Zoom calls. Mary Anne Anderson is a local who frequently attends writing workshops in Cambria with other artists.
“Poetry has sort of been my altar of peace,” Anderson said. “It s where I go to pray out loud, to pray with the words. It s a quiet place. It s a safe place. It s a holy place.”
Anderson said she’s often inspired by her surrounding environment.
“And I love being in Cambria because we re in such gorgeous nature,” Anderson said. “I feel very, very attached and connected to it.”
