Patricia Smith: Writing in Persona
Stepping Out of the Self and Becoming the
Other. This workshop will utilize the strategies
and hands-on tools needed to effectively write
from perspectives other than you own. Adopting
other personas liberates the voice and urges
the poet to take risks with tone, structure
and narrative. We'll find ways to push past
our own boundaries to create persona poems
that are dramatic, lyrical and unforgettable.
