Meeting will take place in the Poetry Center's Alumni Room, Room 205; limit 12 students.

This generative workshop invites poets and prose writers to use archival thinking as a way into new work. When I say archive, I mean anything that preserves a trace: documents, photographs, lists, news items, family stories, and objects. Through brief readings, discussion, and guided prompts, participants will write from found material and explore how voice, omission, and form can transform what we inherit. No prior experience with archival research is required.
