The Art & Craft Workshop series spotlights and explores various poetic forms, features, themes, and aspects of the poem-writing and revising process. These are spaces for us to connect to and through poetry; to start, tend to, or revive a creative practice; and to expand our knowledge of contemporary poetry together.
Participants will leave each session with the beginning of a draft, a list of recommended reading for further study, and several writing and revising exercises. Each workshop also includes an invitation to a peer feedback session, where writers will be guided through providing and receiving feedback to each other.
These programs are intended for folks 18 years and older, of all levels of experience, knowledge, and skill in reading, discussing, and writing poetry. Program topics, dates, and registration will be announced here and through my monthly newsletter. Please note that sessions are live online and never recorded.
JUNE PROGRAMS
All June programs will be open for registration Monday, June 1st, at 12:00 PM CT.
Join us for the June Poetry Book Club discussion of GREEN OF ALL HEADS by aracelis girmay on Thursday, June 25th, 12:00 AM-2:00 PM CT.
All are welcome, but space is limited to allow for discussion and participation. Participants should read a copy of the collection beforehand and select one poem they would like the group to discuss.
The Ars Poetica, a poem about poems, invites us to explore and articulate our own definitions, values, and practices of poetry and poetry-writing. We will read and discuss a wide range of ars poetica together, and then compose our own within a framework of inquiry, wonder, and liberatory possibility. As poet and scholar Edward Hirsch reminds us in A Poet’s Glossary, “[t]he ars poetica, like the defense of poetry, becomes a necessary form when poetry is called into question and freedom is endangered.”
