ARTS INTEGRATION & PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOPS

Photographic Poems (October 2-5, 2025)

with RICHARD BLANCO

In this workshop, participants will engage in interactive lectures, exercises, and readings of various illustrative poems, taking a deep dive into some of the core techniques of poetry: sensory details, modulation of the poetic line, figurative language, and linguistic musicality. Participants will draft poems using personal photographs as prompts to explore emotional responses and uncover the conscious and unconscious stories those images hold. They will also take new photographs to explore how the poetic eye—like the eye of a camera—focuses and frames experience, then “redevelop” those photos into poems. The group will spend time workshopping drafts while continuing to investigate the relationships between imagery, imagination, and story.

All skill levels welcome.

Studio fee: $0
