SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Kiara Nicole Letcher
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nWriting from out of the ordinary in an exploration in peculiar poetry. In this workshop\, we will look at poems that deal with the supernatural — poems that peer beyond the veil and utilize a supernatural element. From Poe\, Keats\, Lorca\, and Rossetti\, among others\, we will explore these poems and what they say about the seen and unseen world. Through these works\, we’ll consider how the supernatural in poetry reflects deep-seated human questions about mortality\, reality\, and the limits of human understanding. By reading and discussing these pieces\, participants will engage with how different eras and cultures have expressed universal themes of fear\, mystery\, and fascination with the unknown. Participants will have the opportunity to ruminate and investigate poems of the paranormal\, gaining insights into how these eerie elements serve as a window into humanity’s beliefs and values. They will also craft their own poems with a twist of the eerie\, adding to a long-standing tradition of poetic exploration that bridges the tangible and intangible aspects of human experience. \nKIARA NICOLE LETCHER is the author of Oxblood\, (Agape Editions\, 2024) and the chapbook Scream Queen (Orchard Street Press\, 2019). Her work has appeared in South Dakota Review\, Green Mountains Review\, Plainsongs Magazine\, Solstice Literary Magazine\, Querencia Press and Mulberry Literary\, among other publications. Her work is also forthcoming in Laurel Review.      She received her MFA from The University of Nebraska at Omaha and previously served as a Board Member for the Nebraska Writer’s Collective. She was the 2024 Keynote Speaker for the Nebraska Scholastic Writing Awards and a Nebraska State Poet Nominee.
