SUMMARY:Persona Poem Crash Course
DESCRIPTION:The poet’s “I” does not always mean “me.”\nIn the Persona Poem\, or Dramatic Monologue\, the poet writes in the voice of another real or imagined person—or even an inanimate object. Guided by a widely published author of persona and other poems\, you will read and discuss several time-honored examples\, then start new ones of your own. You may find unexpected insights\, expanding your poetic range in the process. \n\nLive video conference: This workshop will be held via our online video conferencing platform\, Zoom. You can view brief tutorials on using the platform here. On the start date or the day before\, participants will receive an email with login info (please check your spam if you don’t see it). \n\nIn this workshop you’ll learn:\n\nThe power of seeing through different eyes\nPerspective and freedom\nPersona poems by classic and contemporary poets\nFeedback on participant poems\n\nTime requirements\n\nN/A\n\nMaterials\n\nAll reading materials will be provided.\n\nWho should take this workshop?\n\nThis workshop is for poets who would like a simple but dramatic way to expand their range.\n\n\nIf you need an accommodation for this workshop\, please contact us at access@writer.org. We will attempt to fulfill all requests\, but advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility services.
