Turn ordinary life into legend. In this generative workshop, we’ll remake and rewrite folktales as poetry, giving contemporary experiences (grief, work, love, place) a modern mythic frame. Participants will draft myth-based poems and leave with prompts, a list of writing moves, and a reading list for further exploration.

This class is suitable for all levels.

Sarah McCartt-Jackson is a poet and folklorist. Her book Stonelight (winner of the Weatherford Award, Phillip H. McMath Award, and Airlie Prize) combines folklore and poetry, illuminating intersections of myth, place, and storytelling.
