MWF: “The Political. The Personal. the Poets.” workshop with Suzi Q Smith

May 3, 2023 by Brooke Harless MacMillan Leave a Comment

3 – 4:30 pm “The Political. The Personal. the Poets.” with Suzi Q Smith

In this generative workshop, we will read poems that offer a focus on the intersections of political and personal experiences through a poetic lens. We will consider the long-held traditions of poetry as a tool for communal voice, emotional evocation, and social memory and change, and examine our own relationships to that history. Participants will write from prompts and then, depending on time, share some of their writing. Appropriate for all levels of experience.

Suzi Q. Smith is an award-winning artist, organizer, and educator who lives in Denver, Colorado. The author of poetry collections Poems for the End of the World, A Gospel of Bones, and Thirteen Descansos, Suzi is also a singer-songwriter, playwright, and multi-disciplinary creative. Currently, she is working on her first memoir while she serves as the [margins.] Director for The Word. Suzi is Affiliate Faculty with Regis University’s Mile High MFA, Lighthouse Writers Workshop, and DU’s Prison Arts Initiative, and she serves as a community representative on the Denver County Cultural Council for SCFD.
