We are excited to host the writing workshop, Finding the Poem in Family Stories, with Pauletta Hansel here at Stuart’s Opera House!
Registration is free
Family stories can help create the path into a greater understanding of our individual and collective history. Often, they document a relationship to place, and create windows into the past for both current and future generations. In this generative workshop, poet and teacher Pauletta Hansel will help participants to choose stories to mine for their personal and cultural significance, and to craft them in such a way that they are not (or not only) a chronological telling, but have emotional and symbolic resonance for both writer and reader. We will consider several examples of poems that use story to do this work, and each participant will have the opportunity to create and share a first draft of their own.
Bio: Pauletta Hansel is the author of nine collections of poems, most recently Heartbreak Tree, winner of the 2023 Poetry Society of Virginia North American Book Award. She was Cincinnati’s first Poet Laureate and the 2022 Writer-in-Residence for the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library.
