One-off Classes in December
Persona Poem Workshop
Monday, December 12th, 6-8pm
Learn how to write a poem in the 1st person voice from a different perspective. A persona poem is a poem in which the poet takes on the voice of a character, a fictional identity, or a persona. Because a dramatic monologue is by definition one person’s speech, it is offered without overt analysis or commentary, placing emphasis on subjective qualities that are left to the audience to interpret. Join us for this 1 evening, 2 hour workshop.
