Poet, Translator, Editor
This four-hour online workshop will begin with sample poems and prompts for revisiting places you’ve called home, for connecting those places with their historical roots and implications, for expanding your conception of what home might mean, and for discovering unexpected techniques to use in this exploration. The rest of each day will be spent discussing your own poems, which may but need not relate to the workshop theme. : drafts of poems based on the prompts, or older poems you’re still working on.
Please e-mail a copy of one one-page poem that you’re not yet satisfied with to me at martha.collins@oberlin.edu by May 10.
