Finding the Poem; Writing the Memory: Sifting Through Your Past to Create Epiphanic Poetry. To mimic the intimate and resonating connections many poets create through their personal histories, participants in this seminar will be challenged to explore memory by tangibly observing their own pasts, leading readers toward epiphanic realizations. A short lecture will explore specific poetic forms and tactics in this genre. A generative workshop will follow. Attend ready to use your memory, your reflections, and your senses to write a successful poem.
