Poetry Writing Workshop: Learning from Adrienne Rich *Online* *NEW*

Adrienne Rich, one of the important American poets of the 20th century, began her career as a formal poet and evolved into a political poet concerned with women’s rights and lesbian and gay rights. Though participants can bring poems on any subject, optional exercises include employing an extended metaphor, writing about a seasonal marker, writing an erotic love poem, creating a poetic hologram, and writing using a “holy day” as opposed to a “holiday” as a springboard for a meditation.
