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

With poet Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg!

Divine what's on tap for you to write and how to write it by tuning into where you are as a specific body in a specific time and place. After a short presentation that draws on writing as a practice of mindfulness, we’ll try our hand at an innovative writing prompt or two that helps you break through habital ways of thinking about writing so that you can arrive at what is ripe and ready. Writing from body, place, and time – all ways to use your writing practice to expand your peripheral vision of who and where you are at this moment – can also bring greater meaning, freedom, and joy to our lives beyond the page. We’ll end with some thoughts on how to generate writing prompts to keep writing from wherever you land next.
