Creatyve PenCraft
Poetry, prose, and community. Hudson Valley.
Whether you're just starting out, deep in the middle of something, or an experienced hand looking for a fresh spark, you'll find your people here. Creatyve PenCraft is a place to share your work, collaborate with others, and hone your craft — in person and online.
I'm Magdalen — a writer and photographer, and the host of Coffee, Tea & Poetry, my monthly live reading series in Marlboro, NY. I built this space to bring together writers, artists, and everyone in between, and to keep the creative work going even when the muse is on vacation.
What We Do Here
Live readings and featured voices, where poetry and story are shared out loud, in community.
Craft notes, process reflections, and sparks of inspiration to keep you writing between gatherings.
Monthly prompts, writing circles, and shared reflections — a place to practice, experiment, and keep the words moving in community.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon of poetry and community. Each month we have a Featured Poet share their work, followed by an open reading — all genres of short works roughly 3–4 minutes each.
Come to read. Come to listen. All are welcome!
