MCWC Soundings
Poets and Writers

Soundings are public reading/workshop events in which, like a whale sounding, participants dive deeply into some aspect of writing.

In addition to our summer conference, MCWC hosts Soundings twice a year, in fall and spring. Poets & Writers sponsors these events through their California Readings/Workshops program.
