Abstract
Dive into the processes of writing, revising, and workshopping poetry in a community setting with undergraduate and graduate students from Professor Laura White’s Fall 2023 Writing Poetry class.

Reflecting on techniques they individually used, as well as ways they developed and grew as writers in conversation and collaboration, their inspiration and creative mindsets will be on full display. his presentation will not only showcase individual poets, their thematic concerns and expressive styles, but it will also focus on what it means to workshop a poem, why we do it, and what we learn from it. As well as questions like, how can art that is so personal be shaped by a small community of readers? What are the difficult parts of sharing written work with others, and what are the unexpected outcomes? This presentation will explore process, community, and artistic vision while also providing a chance for the audience to ask questions and receive answers.
