To Inhabit Another Voice (Persona & Personification): Poetry Workshop
To Inhabit Another Voice is a Creative Writing workshop for writers of any genre. Both persona and personification remain consistent tools for writers to explore experiences outside of ourselves. By deep diving into the ways we use these devices to build imagery, character, metaphor, and more, writers will practice using both persona and personification as foundational poetic tools to build upon.
April is National Poetry Month! Join us to celebrate and practice writing this beautiful literary form in a 3 part workshop series led by poet, teaching artist, and rapper Sean Avery Medlin (he/they). Writers of all experience levels are welcomed. Open to teens ages 15+ and adults.
Sean Avery Medlin (he/they) writes poems, raps, and sometimes essays. Their art questions the limitations of Black masculinity, media representation, and personal narrative. Their work has been featured in Phoenix New Times, Chicago Tribune and Teen Vogue. All their work is available online at superseanavery.com. Medlin is the author of 808s & Otherworlds: Memories, Remixes, & Mythologies (2021) a collection of essays and poetry, available in print, digital, and audiobook.
