Persona Poems: Discovering A Different Voice with Jim Bourey

Join us at SLC Arts for the third of several poetry workshops that will be led by Jim Bourey this year. Jim is the author of four books of poetry - Silence, Interrupted - Broadkill River Press 2015, The Distance Between Us, Cold River Press 2020, Out There and Back Again, Cold River Press 2023, Season of Harvest (with Linda Blaskey) Pond Road Press 2022. Jim's work has also been published in many journals and anthologies. He is the organizer of the DAC Poetry Night Series in Malone. And he can often be found reading aloud in dimly lit rooms.

Join us as we explore Persona Poems and how research in History, Science, and, yes, even Mathematics can help us enrich the ways we inhabit the voice of our "Created Narrator." We'll be using the work of famous (and not so famous) poets to illustrate how to make this happen. And we will get to do one creative exercise. All the poems used, plus a bonus pack of poems, will be in a nifty take home folder. A little learning, a lot of fun.

• Date: Tuesday, August 4
• Time: 6pm
• Location: Creative Spirit Community Arts Center 6-8 Raymond Street in Potsdam
