All Writing Workshops Occur on Thursdays @ 7PM CT
07/30/2026 – Taylor Mali – How the Light Gets In. In this workshop, we’ll explore how poetry can celebrate or at least decorate the imperfections we all inhabit. Imagine poetry as a kind of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing cracked pottery with gold and thereby calling attention to each beautiful flaw rather than trying to pretend the cracks aren’t there. Our goal will be to prove that Leonard Cohen was right when he sang, “There is a crack, a crack in everything / That’s how the light gets in.” No experience necessary!
