Portraits & Personas: A Generative Poetry Workshop
Dates: September 9-October 6
Format: Online Workshop (asynchronous, more info)
Poets often push the boundaries of language and imagination in their work, examining both the self and others. But how do we do this with sensitivity and insight? How do we write about ourselves without navel-gazing? How do we write in other voices without appropriating others’ lives? We’ll explore these tough questions through serious play, by discussing example self-portrait and persona poems and experimenting with writing prompts that will encourage poets to write about themselves and others with verve and precision.
Payment Options
Early Bird: $275 (through August 9)
Regular: $295 (while seats last)
Pay It Forward: $325 (while seats last)
Note: The Pay-It-Forward price is an opportunity to take this class and support your fellow poets while you're at it. The extra monies support scholarships as well as future free and low-cost classes.
