Write ME Epistolary Poetry Workshop with Jefferson Navicky
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 | 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Skidompha Public Library | Registration required.

As part of the Write ME project, poet Jefferson Navicky will lead a free epistolary poetry workshop. Please register by clicking on the link below.

Navicky writes, “If, as Lawrence Ferlinghetti said, poetry is the shortest distance between two people, then epistolary poetry (poetry that is also a letter) is perhaps the fastest way to bridge that distance. Come explore the form with other Lincoln County poets. All levels of experience are welcome.”

Jefferson Navicky is the author of four books, most recently the novel-in-prose-poems, Head of Island Beautification for the Rural Outlands (2023), a Finalist for the Big Other Book Award in Fiction, as well as Antique Densities: Modern Parables & Other Experiments in Short Prose(2021), which won the 2022 Maine Literary Award for Poetry. He is the archivist for the Maine Women Writers Collection.
