Now, Then: The Art of Time Travel in Poetry

​Now, Then: The Art of Time Travel in Poetry

​Time is a poet's most elastic material. In this two-hour workshop, we'll explore how poems move through time — leaping backward into memory, pressing into the present moment, reaching toward an imagined future — and how the syntax and structure of a poem can perform that motion rather than merely describe it.

​How do you write a poem that holds two moments at once? How do you use tense, white space, and line breaks to signal a shift in time without losing the reader? How do you reclaim a past moment on the page without flattening it — keeping it alive, unresolved, strange?

​We'll read poems that are masterful time travelers, study their moves, and then make some of our own. Come ready to write, to leap, and to discover what happens when past and present collide on the page.

​This workshop is part of the Conscious Writers Collective series. No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to explore how poets play with time.

​We have FIVE TICKETS for non-members.
