Personae Poetry Workshop @ Dream City

Beyonce has Sasha Fierce. Megan the Stallion has Tina Snow. But do you have an alter ego?

In this workshop, participants will tap into their personal power through developing a personae.

By interrogating personae and environmental poems from works including Douglas Kearney’s “Black Automaton,” Louise Glück’s “the wild Iris,” and Rita Dove’s “Thomas and Beulah,” participants will activate an internal eye that transforms into a poetic “I” that uses the senses to craft sharp and resonating personae poems.
