Poetry & Prose Workshop with Willa Schneberg
Is Jewish poetry or prose something written by a Jewish author, or must it have a Jewish theme?
Participants will explore in their own words what they consider the Jewish experience. In this generative workshop, works by Allen Ginsberg, Yehuda Amichai, Adrienne Rich, Grace Paley, Sabena Stark, Yuvi Zalkow, and others, will be considered as motivations for expressing our deeply held sense of Jewish identity -- what it means to be Jewish and to write as a Jew.
Those who choose to will share what they have written at an accompanying OJMCHE event, Reading the Jewish Experience, on Monday, December 8, at 7:30.
