Students in The Writers Studio Hudson Valley Poetry Workshop learn how to create a “persona” or “narrator” for the poetic form. Through the use of Writers Studio exercises, students learn to recognize what makes a poem engaging and entertaining to the reader. While creating a persona narrator is the primary focus of the workshop, students also will explore a range of poetic devices and traditional forms. Open to students new to The Writers Studio as well as students who have already taken writing workshops in any branch of The Writers Studio.
