Participants in this workshop will be treated to poems born in times of struggle and carry clarity, light, and the doggedness of hope. We’ll explore the poetry of political upheaval and war, as well as familial and personal grief; in doing so, we’ll rediscover the techniques good listeners and writers have used for centuries in order to create poems that help us persevere. Prompts generated by the work at hand will get us writing, and poets will leave with drafts to carry onward through the dark. Afterward, Poet Resident and Instructor, Abby E. Murray, will give a free reading.
Date & Time: Saturday, July 13 from 1 - 4 p.m.
