Crossing Over: A Poetry Workshop

Join us for this collaboration between GrubStreet and Mass Poetry for a discussion of this year’s Common Threads poems, seven poems by Massachusetts writers that cross “‘Thresholds’ — from past to present, self to other, real to imagined.” We’ll collect resonant phrases from the poems as we read them and hear them in the poets’ own voices via videoclips. The phrases we select will deepen our insight into the poet’s craft and become the basis for writing poems of our own that we will share in class.
