Poetry of Grief and Healing with Jodie Hollander

For centuries, creating art, and writing poetry in particular, has served as a form of healing for hurt, pain and grief. In this workshop, we’ll discuss examples of celebrated poems that tackle these difficult topics and study effective techniques for channeling our pain into poetry. Then, through a series of writing prompts, we’ll delve into our own experiences and turn them into powerful, effective poems. This workshop is for anyone who is interested in the incredible transformative power of poetry to heal our wounds. No experience necessary.
