On October 23, please join us for The Poetic Self-Portrait, a Writer's Studio workshop hosted by Madeleine Cravens.
Self-portraits in visual art are abundant, but is it possible to successfully portray the self through a poem? In this workshop, we will look at a range of contemporary poetic self-portraits, including pieces by Adam Zagajewski, Cynthia Cruz, Donika Kelly, and Chen Chen. We will discuss the different strategies these poets use to present themselves on the page, and then craft and share our own poetic self-portraits.
Madeleine Cravens is a 2022-2024 Wallace Stegner Fellow. Her poems can be found or are forthcoming in the New Yorker, the Kenyon Review, the Adroit Journal, and Narrative Magazine. Her debut poetry collection, Pleasure Principle, will be out in June with Scribner.
