Tacoma Poet Laureate, Josie Emmons Tuner, will be hosting this free poetry workshop exploring persona poems. In a persona poem, you the writer are not the “I.” It is a great technique that frees the writer to explore new and imaginary worlds. In the workshop, participants will look at how to combine the chimerical with a real concrete place to create interesting poems. The first two hours will be spent exploring various persona poems. Participants will then have a private hour for quiet reflection and writing poetry. During the final hour, participants will share new draft poems. Workshop participants should bring a sack lunch and writing materials.
