Writing Workshops Fall 2024
John Brehm
The Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence
In this six-week, in-person worshop, we'll divide our time between exploring the poems in my new anthology, The Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence, and discussing the writing you'll do in response to these themes. We'll look at extraordinary poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Pablo Neruda, Wislawa Szymborska, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, Lucille Clifton, Seamus Heaney, Kevin Young, Ada Limon, Arthus Sze, and many others. My hope is that these poets will inspire you to reach higher and deeper in your own writing as we work with the fundamental emotions of grief, gratitude, and reverence.

- Cost: $350 (Six three-hour sessions)
- Enrollment: Minimum 5, Maximum 12.
