Containers of Light and Dark: Reading and Writing Poetry of Resilience

Fake AWP: Poetry of Resilience with Sara R. Burnett, March 19, 2025 (free recorded workshop)
Hosted by Brown Bag Lit
How do poems serve as containers for grief while expanding our capacity for hope? How do certain poems carry us across a turbulent patch like a lantern in our hand? In this workshop, we'll closely read and discuss such a poem (or two) together before we turn to generating our own creative work inspired by what such reading illuminates. Above all, how can we find or strengthen our creative resilience in the face of so much uncertainty? How can we hold together the light and the dark?
