About the event
Life tends to throw heavy stuff at us, and it's our job to manage our mental health through it all. This workshop walks us through methods for writing poetry as a coping tool through grief, loss, and trauma. From free writing and responding to prompts to observing our situation and trying a poetic form, poetry can help us process and manage our emotions through the heaviness.
Attendees will read poets like Sabrina Benaim, William Bortz, Ross Gay, Jamaal May, and more. Attendees will also have time each week to put the poetic coping tools into practice and generate their own poetry.
Dates: Sundays in September from 1 - 2:30 p.m. CT
Location: Online (Google Meet)
Registration fee: $75
Deadline to register: September 7 by 12:00 p.m. CT
