Northeastern University Writing Center

ALT Graphic with information about upcoming workshop, facilitated by MC Hyland. Includes photo of MC and the information in the caption, plus the following workshop description: "Though there's lots of talk about the first-person speaker of many poems (sometimes known as "the lyric I"), we talk--and think!--less about the other poetic pronouns. In this workshop, conducted through email "lectures", suggested readings, google drive writing-sharing, and a day-long collaborative writing marathon, we'll think about the "yous" in both other people's poems and our own. We'll ask who we write for and to, and practice writing to friends, the dead, and the future. We'll look at a famous book of poetry written by a poet for his friend, and make our own simple books for people in our lives. We'll also write to each other. How does it change poetic writing to imagine a specific audience receiving our words? What yous do you write to when you write?"
