This workshop will encourage participants to write about and consider the “ancient and deeply American quest, the search for home,” to quote poet George Bilgere. For example, how does our culture encourage, or discourage, physical relocation and personal reinvention? We’ll use the metaphor of rivers during our discussion, how water moves us from place to place, sustains and nurtures and cleanses us, both literally and metaphorically. The metaphor of bridges also resonates the literal and the metaphoric—how do we cross from one place or identity into another? What are the obstacles such movement presents? And ultimately, how do we define home? As Norman Maclean famously wrote, “all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.” Workshop coordinators Gailmarie Pahmeier and Courtney Cliften will share their own work in addition to some from poets they admire, and they’ll offer prompts to help you generate your own poems.
$5.00 - Includes $2 processing fee. Name will be added to class list, no printed ticket needed. Online registration closes 1 hour before class.
