Are you a writer searching for a new perspective? In this one-day generative workshop, participants will learn about persona, call-and-response dialogue, epistolary techniques, and how to apply these to our own writing. We’ll then create our own narrative poems that shift perspective, get into someone else's head, and/or engage with ancestors, historical figures, etc. Students will be invited to share work and receive feedback.

DATE: Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 10am - 2pm CT, in-person at Gemini Ink

COST: Nonmember $100; Member $85; Student $70
