SUMMARY:Rooted in Writing: The Poem as a Container with Ashley E. Wynter
DESCRIPTION:Through Rooted in Writing\, we will offer 1-3 single-session classes each season through the library’s systemwide catalog. \nThis is a new program with our long-time partner\, Hennepin County Library and is  funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. \nWorkshop description: In this class\, writers will be encouraged to imagine the poem as a container—a way to hold our ghosts and ancestors\, our memories and hauntings\, our questions and uncertainties\, old loves and new flames\, the wildness of our secret selves. And what happens when we place a certain feeling\, memory\, or thought into a specific poetic structure? The sonnet\, perhaps? Or Airea D. Matthews’ “Letters to My Would-be Lover…”? Seeking to balance the physical and metaphorical pressurizer that is poetry\, this generative workshop will guide attendees through a series of “rapid-fire” writing exercises and imitations—each designed to nurture the instinct of writing\, to move the poet out of their ow way! Participants will leave energized\, with several musings and poem drafts that can be carried into tomorrow. \nClick here to register! \nA.E. Wynter is a writer\, editor\, curator\, and community organizer living in Saint Paul\, MN. Invested in the transformative power of storytelling\, Wynter is the poetry mentor and program coordinator for More Than a Single Story’s emerging black writers program. Her award-winning poetry has been supported by the Minnesota State Arts Board\, the Loft Mentor Series\, the Carolyn Moore Writers Residency\, the Tofte Lake Center National Emerging Artist Residency\, and most recently\, a 2025-28 Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship. Wynter’s poems have appeared\, or are forthcoming\, in the Black Warrior Review\, Torch Literary Arts\, The Florida Review\, New Millenium\, and elsewhere.
