Writing Dramatic Monologue/Persona Poems through the Archetype of Grandmother
Tuesday April 30, 2024 6:30pm - 9:00pm EDT
This writing generative workshop will explore dramatic monologue & persona poems through the lens of our grandmothers––the grandmothers we are descended from, or the grandmothers we are. Using prompts of personal photos, objects, and memory, participants will explore the archetypal theme of what grandmothers embody for us in our own family and cultural heritage. We will excavate and expand our ideas and feelings about “grandmother” and the impact of grandmothers on our identity, relationships and spirit. By writing in the persona of grandmother, we will put flesh on the bones of the archetype, and inhabit personalities of the grandmothers who influence our lives.
