Poets Cynthia Marie Hoffman and Sarah Kain Gutowski will read from their collected works, with an emphasis on their newest respective collections, both of which are cohesively themed (Cynthia’s is a memoir in prose poems, Sarah’s is a fabulist narrative in poems).
Poems as letters, letters as poems: We will read and discuss a range of letter poems including those from Pauletta’s collection Friend, and use writing and revision prompts to help us write our own poems from this rich and varied epistolary poetry tradition.
Emotional openness. An invitation to think together. Fleda Brown and Anne-Marie Oomen aren’t just contemporaries; they’re friends and deep admirers of each other’s work.
