Sad to miss you all due to COVID and travel. But excited to be back next month to write some election poems, essays, or whatever at Prompted by Pop Culture on November 3.
Metaphors are magic! Learn from award-winning poet, author, and educator Kelly Grace Thomas how to mine and create metaphors full of surprise, punch, and power. Kelly, winner of the Neil Postman Award for Metaphor from Rattle, will teach new craft approaches and generative exercises to transform your writing. We will read and discuss work from contemporary poets such as Patricia Smith, Hieu Minh Nguyen, Danez Smith, Franny Choi, Stevie Edwards, Warsan Shire, and more.
In this workshop, participants will:
Discuss how metaphors build power
Transform language to surprise and capture
Dive into dynamics of diction and shifts in syntax
Learn replicable techniques to transform writing
Leave with three new drafts
