SUMMARY:Persona Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Persona poems are written from the perspective of someone or something else—a historical figure\, an animal\, a personified object\, a fictional character\, someone in a photo—using “I” to give voice and understanding to a different being and inspire exploration into emotions\, ideas\, possibilities and experiences beyond the poet’s own.  \nUsing AMP’s extraordinary mural as muse\, participants are invited to stretch their imaginations and explore the potential of others. We’ll warm-up with a viewing/discussion of three incredible examples of persona poetry to help inspire our writing and our pens\, and then dive into writing our own pieces. There will be time at the end for sharing out loud. \nRegistration fee includes the workshop and admission to AMP. Participants are invited to tour the exhibit before or after the workshop. Coffee\, tea\, and snacks will be provided\, and participants are free to bring their own beverage and food if desired. Please bring a pen/pencil and notebook. \nElizabeth Thomas is a published writer\, performer and educator who designs and teaches creative writing programs for all ages. The author of two poetry collections and a book on writing\, she has been an outstanding advocate of youth in the arts\, she is a Master Teaching Artist for The Bushnell and has presented workshops for Capitol Region Educational Council\, New England Association of Teachers of English\, Florida and Georgia Teacher’s Council\, Florida Literacy Coalition and taught Poetry as Theater in United Arab Emirates. For many years\, Elizabeth served as coach and organizer with Brave New Voices: International Youth Poetry Slam and Festival.
