Reading Deeply, Writing Deeply: 3 Women Poets Talk to the Gods with Veronica Golos
OnlineWhether a writer is talking directly to God or using religious reflection to try and make sense of humanity, poetry is shrouded in spiritual mystery and is often used to explore both concrete and intangible concepts of a higher power.
In this three-week workshop, we will study impactful poems from three women poets who invoke ideas of God or the gods. Louise Gluck’s book The Wild Iris enlists flowers from the garden of eden to help tell a story. Lucille Clifton’s “brothers” is an eight-poem conversation between an aged Lucifer and God. Natalia Toledo’s body of written work speaks to the Zapotec gods in three languages: Zapotec, Spanish, and English.

Inner Craft—An Open Genre Workshop with National Book Award Finalist Reginald Gibbons
OnlineJoin award-winning author Reginald Gibbons on an exploration of “inner craft.” In this open-genre workshop, you will learn how to use not only writerly craft from the three major genres (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction) but also your inner landscape of feeling and thought, memory and experience to create a more deliberate artistic practice. Over three weeks, work closely with this master teacher as he guides you through craft techniques gleaned from these genres to show you how to gain more access to your intuitive resources. In the workshop, everyone will draft new work and revise pre-existing pieces, using a process that brings together intuition and craft in unique ways. Participants will be able to carry this innovative practice into all their work.
