Perceptions of Self in the New Year
With the new year comes reflections on the past year, New Year's resolutions, and a belief (or hope) that things will improve in the future. During this generative workshop, poets will examine the many different perceptions of self that influence their everyday life and choices. How do others perceive them? What narratives (whether positive or negative) do they believe about themselves? Using the works of Lucille Clifton, Elizabeth Bishop, and more, poets will write about the facets of themselves they want to preserve and those they want to give away in the New Year.
