SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Matt Mason
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. \nSome songs have a magical way of transporting us through time. They evoke vivid memories\, stirring up feelings of nostalgia\, joy\, or reflection. In this workshop\, we’ll explore the songs that have shaped us and look at how music can serve as a powerful gateway to poetry. We’ll look at the songs that connect us to our past\, reliving moments of youth while discovering fresh insights in the present. Then\, we’ll discuss how to transform these emotional snapshots into poems. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or a newcomer to writing\, this workshop invites you to turn the soundtrack of your life into art. \nMATT MASON is the former Nebraska State Poet and was the Executive Director of the Nebraska Writers Collective from 2009-2022. Through the US State Department\, he has run workshops in Botswana\, Romania\, Nepal\, and Belarus. Mason is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize and fellowships from the Academy of American Poets and the Nebraska Arts Council. His work can be found in The New York Times\, on NPR’s Morning Edition\, in American Life in Poetry\, and more. Mason’s 5th book\, Rock Stars\, was released by Button Poetry in 2023.
