Disease is an intense and intimate human experience, and poetry is a creative medium that connects us to a wider world. This workshop is intended for those who suffer from chronic illness and those who have been affected by trauma, along with their caregivers, companions, and healthcare providers. Join us as we look at the ways poetry can sublimate suffering into art.

  • Students should bring something to write with. A lunch break will be provided. Students are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
