Poems as Prompts

Reading a poem before you write can unlock images and memories that take you in an exciting direction. Whether you write poetry, fiction, or nonfiction, using poems as prompts can be a valuable addition to your writing practice. Poems can help you discover topics that move you, as well as help you create settings and develop characters.

In this generative workshop, we’ll read several poems by contemporary poets and use their metaphors, music, and meaning to spark new work of our own. Participants will leave class with several beginnings to new projects.

StoryStudio classes are typically limited to 15 participants or fewer. This intimate setting allows for greater interaction and personal attention.
