Body of Work: Writing Poetry About Chronic Illness

Taught by Meghan Sterling
November 15, 2026 2:30 pm ยท 1 hour 30 minutes
Creativity can be difficult when we struggle with health challenges. But what if our illness was the inspiration? In Meghan Sterling's poetry workshop, she will discuss poems from her latest collection, Sick Letters from the Lovebed, and work with participants to see illness as something to be examined for its unique perspective. 

This workshop will include poetry prompts, discussion, reading and optional sharing of workshop-generated work in a supportive, encouraging  environment. 

Cost: Sliding Scale $15-35 per person
**18+
Pre-registration is required
