SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Lisa Fay Coutley
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. \nOctober 26\, Lisa Fay Coutley “Infecting the Text: Letting Trauma Take its Necessary Shape” By now you’ve heard writers—especially poets and lyric essayists—suggest that you should let your content inform your form as often as you’ve heard them say show don’t tell\, though as it is with most things\, both are easier said than done. The former requires us to write from the body while letting go—a feat not easily mastered by any writer and complicated even more by difficult content. Often what we need most is permission and imaginative examples. This workshop will provide you with both. \nLISA FAY COUTLEY is the author of HOST (Wisconsin Poetry Series\, 2024)\, tether (Black Lawrence Press\, 2020)\, Errata (Southern Illinois University\, 2015)\, winner of the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Open Competition\, In the Carnival of Breathing (BLP\, 2011)\, winner of the Black River Chapbook Competition\, Small Girl: Micromemoirs (Harbor Editions\, 2024)\, and she is the editor of In the Tempered Dark: Contemporary Poets Transcending Elegy (BLP\, 2023).

Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nSeptember 7\, Javon Rustin “Bringing Home Metaphors – From Stars to Constellations” Every line of poetry is a star.

We will be going through the process of beginning and editing poems in ways that make our extended metaphors clear to audiences and easy to create. Our constellations will be made of stories and the people we hold close. \nJAVON RUSTIN is a poet\, performer\, and programmer; a writer of stories\, stanzas\, and software. He started competing in poetry slams after graduating from North Carolina A&T in 2013. Since then Javon has been a National Poetry Slam finalist and Regional Slam champion.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Keisha-Gaye Anderson
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. \n August 24\, Keisha-Gaye Anderson “Crafting Identity: How to Write Like Your Authentic Self” Who are we? Who are we told we are? Who do we know ourselves to be? This workshop will explore how identity—imagined\, imposed\, and re-imagined—is utilized in poetics to communicate and construct objective and subjective reality. Through close examination of language\, structure\, form and other devices used within selected poems\, workshop participants will become familiar with approaches to this craft that focus on powerfully probing and defining identity\, in ways that empower them and accurately reflect the themes or experiences they are exploring in their writing. To that end\, a series of writing prompts will be used so that participants may generate poems from different perspectives in order to move closer to the expression of their essential/hidden selves in their writing. We will also tackle basic elements of poetry and discuss workshop poems using select poetic forms. \nKEISHA-GAYE ANDERSON is a Jamaican-born poet\, writer\, and visual artist based in Brooklyn\, NY. Her poetry books include: Gathering the Waters (Jamii Publishing 2014) Everything Is Necessary (Willow Books 2019) and A Spell for Living (Agape 2020)\, which received the Editors’ Choice recognition for the Numinous Orisons\, Luminous Origin Literary Award. \n
