About Jefferson Navicky:
Edna St. Vincent Millay possessed a broad poetic range, able to write both politically-charged poems as well as lyrical poems grounded in the natural world, and she often wrote them in close succession. In this workshop, we’ll examine Millay’s ability to shape-shift as a poet, and we’ll discuss why a poet might choose to do this, how this can be accomplished, and in general, we’ll talk about strategies to stay connected with each other and to write poems in difficult times when we may struggle to stay in touch with poetry. We’ll also try to write our own poems with Millay as inspiration.
The workshop is open to poets of all abilities and experience, and anyone who might be curious about the life and work of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Net proceeds from this event will be donated to Millay House Rockland.
