SUMMARY:Approaching the Divine: Poetry as Spiritual Practice with Jeremy Paden
DESCRIPTION:Join Jeremy Paden\, author of how to recognize god’s chosen\, for an exploration of poetry as spiritual practice. Both song and prayer are\, perhaps\, our earliest forms of poetry\, and both give voice to our deepest longings. Both are also central in most religious practices. The word religion comes from religio. While Augustine proposes that religio come from religare\, to bind again or to bind fast\, Cicero states it comes from re-legere\, to re-read or to read with care. In this workshop\, we will focus on Cicero’s notion of reading and rereading: (re)reading the self\, (re)reading the world\, (re)reading other spiritual poets. Participants will be provided with an anthology of poems\, as well as and reading and writing prompts that engage those poems with an eye toward writing new poems. \nClick Link to Register through Accents Publishing \nThursday\, October 9\, 6:00–8:00 PM • $40

DESCRIPTION:Two bestselling authors tackle myths and misconceptions about publishing. What does BookTok and social media get wrong about publishing? (Lots.) Are there any shortcuts? (A few.)

SUMMARY:Other Voices Lost & Found: Crafting the Historical Persona Poem with Cecilia Woloch
DESCRIPTION: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.  \nClick Link to Register through Accents Publishing \nTuesday\, October 28\, 6:00–8:00 PM • $40
