Words for My Mother Poetry Workshop

Words for My Mother is a poetry workshop that invites our poets to explore their relationships with their mothers – messy, tender, distant, or deeply rooted. Through guided prompts and discussion, our poets will be encouraged to write honestly and expansively about the mothers who shaped us – and how we continue to shape ourselves. We will expand the definition of “mother” to include caregivers, chosen family, and ancestry when that applies, and as always, will offer a supportive space for both emerging and experienced writers and creatives, Together, we will uncover stories that may be tender, unresolved, or celebratory, and we will examine how language and memory honor nuance, and give voice to what often feels difficult to articulate. No prior poetry experience is necessary – only a willingness to listen inward, take creative risks, and be in community. 

Come light, come heavy. Bring your voice to the altar of art and surrender. We will meet you there!
