Neil Hilborn Writers Circle Workshop
Workshop Facilitator
Designed and facilitated “Everyone Begins to Shimmer in Their Own Pains,” a generative poetry workshop for Neil Hilborn’s Writers Circle. The workshop examined how poets transform pain into language through close readings of work related to the subject.
Participants explored the ways pain is hidden, translated, softened, and reimagined through poetry before responding to a series of writing prompts. The session concluded with participants sharing newly written drafts and discussing the discoveries that emerged through the writing process.
