Persona Poems

Play with persona poems and give that inanimate object — or animal, or famous person — a voice!

Persona poems allow the poet to step into someone else’s shoes, or the shoes of an object, an animal, a force of nature. This workshop will play with persona poems by reading examples in class and then following the prompts provided! Participants can expect to write 3-4 drafts of poems.

Writing the Body

Write poems about the glamour and gore of the body.

This generative workshop will have participants review and discuss poems that look at the body in all its glamour and gore, everything you love, hate, worry about, hold close, and pretend not to notice. We’ll then write our own body-inspired poems. Participants can expect to leave with 2-4 new drafts of poems.
