“These are but shadows of the things that have been.” — Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

In this generative poetry workshop, we’ll explore the ghosts we carry: memories, questions, griefs, dreams, and echoes of self that resist silence. To write what haunts us is to make contact with the invisible, to name what lingers, to transform fear or sorrow into something alive on the page. Through writing exercises, close readings, and open discussion, we’ll learn how to invite the haunting in, to listen, respond, and reshape it into art.

 We’ll look to poets who have skillfully conjured the haunting like Natalie Diaz, Diane Seuss, and Ocean Vuong. Participants will leave with several drafts and a renewed sense of how to write bravely into what continues to visit us. No prior workshop experience necessary. All who have been haunted are welcome.
