Poetry M.A.S.H with Sasha Debevec-McKenney

Come play Poetry M.A.S.H! Inspired by the classic sleepover game, this generative poetry workshop will provide you with a peek into your future. We’ll read a diverse mix of poems—from Tracy K Smith, Donald Justice, Brenda Shaughnessy and others—that do their best to predict the future, both public and personal. Then we’ll work together to create a matrix of constraints, but you’ll leave with a form of your very own.

Sasha Debevec-McKenney is the author of the poetry collection JOY IS MY MIDDLE NAME, which will be published by Fitzcarraldo Editions and W.W. Norton in 2025. She received her MFA from New York University and was the 2020-2021 Jay C. and Ruth Halls Poetry Fellow at the University of Wisconsin. Her poems have appeared in places like The New Yorker, The Yale Review, and The New York Review of Books. She was born in Hartford, Connecticut and currently lives in Decatur, Georgia, where she is a Creative Writing fellow at Emory University.
