Lists & Litanies: Crafting Poems of Repetition and Revelation
What happens when we name it all — every ache, every joy, every version of ourselves? In this immersive, two-hour workshop with award-winning poet Kelly Grace Thomas, we’ll turn the simple act of listing into a powerful poetic engine for truth-telling and transformation.
Through dynamic exercises and guided exploration, you’ll learn how to build poems that breathe, surprise, and reveal. Whether you’re seeking a breakthrough in your current work or a way to reignite your voice, this session will help you find depth and resonance through accumulation.
You’ll leave with tools to:
Use repetition and rhythm to heighten emotional impact
Generate new ideas through iteration and expansion
Build tension and texture by layering language
Overcome creative blocks by writing your way through them
Come make a list. Come make a poem. Come make meaning.
