SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Abby E. Murray
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. \nParticipants in this workshop will consider several poems born in times of struggle to carry clarity and the doggedness of hope. We’ll explore the poetry of political upheaval and war\, as well as familial and personal grief; in doing so\, we’ll rediscover the techniques good listeners and writers have used for centuries to create poems that help us persevere. Prompts generated by the work at hand will get us writing\, and poets will leave with drafts to carry onward through the dark. \nAbby E. Murray (they/them) is the editor of Collateral\, a literary journal concerned with the impact of violent conflict and military service beyond the combat zone. Their first book\, Hail and Farewell\, won the Perugia Press Poetry Prize and was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award; their second book\, Recovery Commands\, recently won the Richard-Gabriel Rummonds Poetry Prize and will be published by Ex Ophidia Press in 2025. Abby served as the 2019-2021 poet laureate for the city of Tacoma\, Washington\, and currently teaches rhetoric in military strategy to Army War College fellows at the University of Washington. Their poems can be found in recent or forthcoming issues of One Art\, the Pushcart Prize 2025 Anthology\, Rattle: Poets Respond\, and Birdbrains: A Lyrical Guide to the Birds of Washington State.

A poem with a commercial break. The childhood memory that lands on your head on your grocery store run. Some art insists the out of place actually belongs—as if it’s meant to be.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Maria Zoccola
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. \nThis generative workshop will explore the enduring influence of mythology\, examining how ancient stories continue to shape our understanding of identity\, power\, beauty\, and human nature. We’ll begin by looking at how classical myth informs contemporary poetry\, starting with Helen of Troy\, 1993\, and expanding into works by poets like Rita Dove and Alice Oswald\, who reimagine myth through ancient and modern lenses. These texts will serve as a springboard for discussing how myth lives within literature\, poetry\, and art. Participants will then receive creative prompts to write their own myth-inspired poems\, whether drawing from ancient sources or reinventing archetypes to reflect today’s world. No prior knowledge of mythology is required—just curiosity and a love for creating stories with poetry. \nMaria Zoccola is a poet and educator from Memphis\, Tennessee. She has writing degrees from Emory University and Falmouth University\, and has spent many years leading creative writing workshops for middle and high school youth. Maria’s work has previously appeared in The Atlantic\, Ploughshares\, Kenyon Review\, The Sewanee Review\, ZYZZYVA\, and elsewhere\, and has received a special mention for the Pushcart Prize. Her debut poetry collection\, Helen of Troy\, 1993 (Scribner\, 2025)\, earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was a New York Times Editor’s Choice pick. \n​

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.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: ​Raena Shirali
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. \nIn an era defined by turmoil\, poetry of witness is newly defined by resistance. Although anger is culturally maligned as immature\, reactionary\, hysterical\, and easily dismissed by the structures that be\, what connects us to seemingly insurmountable forces of oppression is our fury in the face of indignity. In this workshop\, participants will work in the lineage of poetry of witness\, considering the evolution and contemporary iteration of the response poem. Together\, we will work with\, not through\, righteous indignation at the state of the world. This is not fine. Let’s whine about it. \nRAENA SHIRALI is the author of two collections of poetry.

As individuals\, we frequently perceive the urgent threat of climate change with a sense of helplessness\, feeling that our individual actions may lack the capacity to effect meaningful change. This series seeks to transcend the conventional focus on carbon reduction by offering a vision of hope that emphasizes community-building solutions while addressing critical challenges related to shelter\, food security\, and sustainability.
