In this one-day workshop, we will read poems by Naomi Shihab Nye, Adam Zagajewski, Frank O’Hara, Roger Reeves, January Gil O’Neil, and others that demonstrate how praise can be a tool for understanding and transcending even the hardest truths. We will explore how these poets craft praise songs that acknowledge life’s sorrows and losses. We will then write our poems of recovery and resilience.

This two-session virtual workshop will focus on reading and discussing stories of body horror that affect us and engage with stories of illness, trauma, loss, power, monstrousness, and reclamation. We will also discuss how these stories can inspire our own. In this generative workshop, we will engage with multiple activities inviting us to write and share our own body horror stories.

In this 2-day multi-genre generative workshop, we will explore how to uncover a character’s fundamental truth and use it to shape a strong protagonist who creates persona-driven fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. We will also look at how to create shifts in character that make for exciting epiphanies and conclusions that land like lightning bolts on the page. Participants will also practice blending genres to create singular forms that best fit the story they are trying to tell.
Join us as we eat, drink, and merrily toast the closing of 2024 with our literary community of writers and friends. Drop by when you can, leave when you need to.
