Persona Poetry Workshop with CT Poet Elizabeth Thomas at American Mural Project

Persona Poetry Workshop with CT Poet Elizabeth Thomas takes place at American Mural Project in Winsted, CT, using the organization's 120-foot, five-story mural as inspiration. Led by poet Elizabeth Thomas, the workshop guides participants in writing persona poems—pieces composed from the perspective of a historical figure, animal, object, or fictional character, using "I" to explore emotions and experiences beyond the poet's own. The session begins with a viewing and discussion of three examples of persona poetry before participants write and share their own work. The workshop is open to both novice and experienced writers.
