Love and Family Poems ($39)
Lovepoems are often the hardest to make original. Family poems are often the hardest to begin writing truthfully. How do we write an authentic poem about our most important relationships? Through example poems and exercises, we will connect to the particularities of our own experiences to reinvigorate these classic themes. All levels of experience are welcome. While this workshop is intended to be generative, those with drafts on these topics are welcome to bring them as inspiration or for revision.
