Summer Poetry Workshop Series: Writing Resistance with Epistolary Poems

The Letter: Writing Resistance in Epistolary Poems

…while also helping save the post office

Join Stella Beratlis in this free online workshop on writing truth to power via epistolary poems.

Epistolary poems, from the Latin “epistula” for “letter,” are, quite literally, poems that read as letters.
We will read examples of epistolary poems and generate our own epistolary poems exploring resistance.
