“Writing Place: A generative poetry class” welcomes all levels of poets/writers who want to explore how setting, context, memory, and lived experiences can be communicated in poems. We’ll study model poems and have 3-4 brief writing sessions that concentrate on conveying physical landscapes and the internal emotions associated with place. Participants will have opportunities to create and share new place-based work during the class.
This class is suitable for all levels.
Marianne Worthington is author of the prize-winning poetry collection, The Girl Singer, and the forthcoming collection, Water. Witness. Word., from Belle Point Press in 2026.
