Writers have often debated whether having children is at odds with their ambition and creative practice. In this workshop, we will take up another, far more affirming question: What can the subject of parenthood open up for our poems? Diving fully into this work together, we will read and write poems that bear witness to the transformative powers of parenthood, from the sleepless newborn days to the here-before-we-know-it empty nesting days. Whether you're already deep into this work or are eager to take it on, this generative workshop will aim to remind us not of what parenting forbids but what it makes possible - on the page and beyond.
