The Poetics of Place workshop is currently full. Add your name to the wait list and we will let you know if a spot opens up. Thanks!
Poetry is deeply tied to place—where we’re from, where we’ve been, and where we return. This workshop explores how real landscapes shape language and memory, helping writers ground their work in vivid, specific settings. Through readings and exercises, we’ll consider how to bring lyricism and detail to the places that have shaped us, making them come alive on the page.
This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from Ohio Arts Council.
