The epistolary poem is a poem that addresses a “you,” a letter to someone you love, someone you lost, a city, a country, a mythological figure, or a figure in history or politics. We will read examples and explore our voices in relationship to the other. Epistolary poems are bridges. They are often intimate. We will end this generative workshop with the option to share.
