SUMMARY:Seeding Family-based Poems with Golems\, Dybukks and Shpilkas
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, October 30 and November 6\, 13\,  & 20\, 2025\n12-1:30 p.m. ET\n$180\n \nWhat Inspires Your Poetry?\n \nIn Jewish tradition\, stories and symbols shimmer with possibility—golems who guard and protect\, dybbuks who haunt and unsettle\, wise sayings passed down in mameloshen (Yiddish and other beloved tongues). These mythic images and words have traveled through generations\, carrying echoes of our history\, humor\, and heart.\n \nIn this Immersion with poet Susan Comninos\, we’ll step into this rich imaginative landscape\, exploring how folklore\, family stories\, and cultural memory can awaken new inspiration for your writing. Susan will guide us in weaving together personal history and timeless myth\, crafting poems that honor our creative inheritance while speaking in our own\, present-day voices. Come to reflect\, to write\, and to join others in a circle of Jewish creativity—where the past and present meet on the page\n \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nSusan Comninos is a widely published writer and author of a recent book of poems\, “Out of Nowhere” (Stephen F. Austin Univ. Press/Texas A&M\, 2022). Her individual poems\, often on Jewish themes\, have appeared in the Harvard Review Online\, Rattle\, The Common\, Prairie Schooner and North American Review\, among others.
