SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Ryan Boyland\, Make-Believe in the Modern Age
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought about what it was like to live as a brick? Or Sweeney Todd? Or maybe even Superman? From the Academy of American Poets\, persona poems are poems in which the poet speaks through an assumed voice\, creating a distance between the writer and speaker that can result in finding new truths previously left unconsidered. In this Nebraska Poetry Society workshop\, we will be using the persona poem to convey thoughts\, feelings\, and ideas through the voice of a character of the author’s choosing. In a phrase\, telling our own stories through a perspective other than our own–finding our voice in another’s mouth. \nRYAN BOYLAND is a writer\, wanderer\, medical student\, and amateur astronomer currently based out of Omaha\, Nebraska\, where his love for both science and poetry motivates him to combine the two at every opportunity. His work addresses issues of identity\, love\, and death. And stars. Because they’re cool. His goal through his performance is to touch minds and hearts around the world and considers it a victory every time he can do so. Ryan and his work have been featured on Button Poetry\, Poets and Writers\, Nebraska Public Media\, through Larksong Writers’ Place\, in Omaha Magazine\, The Cookout Literary Journal\, and can be found on SoundCloud\, Facebook\, and YouTube. When not writing\, Ryan enjoys listening to music\, stargazing\, and being Black\, mixed in with the occasional intense discussion regarding the validity of the Star Wars prequels. \nRegistration required. 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.
