Reclaiming My Time Through Poetry – Online Workshop
Begin the new year by reclaiming your time, voice, and creative practice in this virtual poetry workshop inspired by our exhibition, Reclaiming My Time. Centered on presence, this workshop invites participants to pause, reset expectations, and reconnect with the self through written and spoken word.
The workshop, led by international slam poetry champion Anthony McPherson, will introduce techniques of poetic immediacy—a practice of writing from the present moment rather than the pull of future to-do lists or past memories—as well as elements of stream of consciousness. Participants will be guided to write about the thing while the thing is occurring, composing poetry that reflects their current time, place, and emotional landscape.
Through prompts and a discussion with Museum Curator, Michelle Joan Wilkinson, attendees will acknowledge milestones, and consider this season as a necessary period of rest and grounding.
