Material for poems is everywhere – including in personal and historical archives. In this workshop, we’ll discuss how other voices — drawn from testimonies, transcripts, letters and other “found” materials – can be used to craft poems-of-witness and historical persona poems. We’ll read and discuss literary models, exchange ideas for subjects and approaches, and then participants will be led into a writing exercise in which materials-at-hand and imagination are combined to draft a poem in the voice of someone from the past, whether a historical figure or an ancestor.
