LIVE via ZOOM: 7pm-9pm (Eastern)

Why does confessional poetry get a bad rap? Arguably, aren’t all poems confessional, revealing of human experiences and truths? This online workshop aims to encourage the risks and lessen the apprehension of writing about risky subjects. Together we will form a safe space that is affirming yet challenging. The focus will be on poems-in-progress, elaborating on intent, craft and process. We will also generate new writing through prompts, and discuss exemplar poems. In creating narratives of the self and family, we will tap into memory, psyche, emotions, culture and autobiography.
