Coffee & Writing with Sanna Wani

Celebrating the launch of Lantern—in poetry and coffee

Come for the coffee, stay for the poems, and leave with a few new words on the page.

Join poet Sanna Wani and Poets & Prose Coffee Roasters for a cozy, creative afternoon exploring the connections between coffee, reading, and writing.

This workshop is open to everyone—from avid readers and published writers to journalers, coffee lovers, and whoever is curious—this workshop invites participants to slow down, sip thoughtfully, and find inspiration in the world around us.

Together, we’ll read coffee poems; talk about a few coffee books worth adding to your reading list; and explore writing prompts inspired by the everyday ritual. Led by Sanna Wani, this workshop is an opportunity to play with language, share ideas, and discover how our senses can become a starting point for creative work.

This event will also launch the special collaborative Poets & Prose Coffee Roasters and Sanna Wani have also created to celebrate their connections. Lantern, the book and the coffee, will be available for purchase.
