Documentary poetry creates an opportunity for poets to engage with a larger world outside of their private experience. In this workshop, participants will explore poetry that begins with a collection of material (political, cultural, historical) to create their own documentary poems. We will look at the ways primary source material (articles, letters, visual art, diaries, court transcripts, tweets, or even shopping lists) can be used to create a series of poems. Participants will have the opportunity to create a draft of a documentary poem during this workshop and will leave with a small collection of examples.
