Part of The Poetry Society of New York's Weekly Virtual Workshop Series.

With poet Rebecca Faulkner!

What does home mean to you? Is it a place, a person, a country, a state of mind? Something you’re looking for but haven’t found? A place you’re desperate to escape from or yearning to return to. The home in poetry can be a mythic, imagined place, the location of childhood memories, a domestic refuge or a prison. This workshop is about the idea of home, literal and metaphorical, and how it can be a creative source for poetry. Join poet Rebecca Faulkner as we explore the complex, myriad meanings of home in our writing.
