Participants will be guided to draw upon memory, family myths, and collective stories as a rich source of vivid, multi-layered poems. You’ll learn strategies for developing poems generated through proven prompts and exercises. Taking a close look at memory-driven poems by established poets, you’ll consider creative choices regarding voice, point of view, image, metaphor, irony, and form.
