Emotional Historians w/ Jon Sands

In the world of people, celebration is often laced with melancholy, joy is a border that surrounds sorrow, and fear is usually one doorbell away from bravery. So, how the fork can we construct poems that acknowledge a complicated and dynamic world? How do we avoid writing that transforms us into caricatures? How do we convey what it feels like to be us, alive at the onset of a new millennium? If the job of an artist is that of an emotional historian, then we must create poems that are as multi-dimensional and layered as the people who write them. If we're to properly archive, we must ask ourselves not whether this is a great poem, but rather, is this today's poem? 📚📝🎈

*Note: This is a generative writing workshop. 🎆
