In this poetry writing workshop, you'll get out of your own head as you explore the persona poem. A persona poem is written from the first-person perspective of an assumed voice—a "mask" or character—that is not the poet, allowing the writer to explore experiences and emotions outside their own, often taking the form of dramatic monologues, letters, or journal entries from historical figures, inanimate objects, animals, or fictional beings.
Participants will look at a few well-known and less known examples, and then spend some time writing their own!
