Poetry has a way of shifting the way we view the world and ourselves, of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, of infusing the mundane with meaning. Ready to see life through a poetry lens? In this four-session workshop, we’ll explore and review basic poetic concepts while working with prompts designed to unlock your own unique poetic gifts and subject matter. The Poetics of You will be a generative, supportive, and encouraging space in which to learn, experiment, and explore. In the weekly virtual meetings, we will study basic techniques, read sample poems, compose drafts, and share writings.

WORKSHOP DATES: Mondays, April 7, 14, 21 & 28, 2025, 6:30-8:30pm CST, via Zoom

COST: Nonmember: $155; Member: $130; Student/Educator/Mil $90
