SUMMARY:Grief and Healing: A Generative Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, July 21 & 28\, 2026 \n1-2:30 PM EDT\n$72\n \n\nIn this two-session workshop\, you are invited to enter poetry as a sacred space—one that can help you hold grief\, memory\, reflection\, and renewal. \nThe days leading up to Tisha B’Av are among the most solemn in the Jewish calendar\, a time when we turn toward loss: the destruction of the Temples\, the experience of exile\, and the many forms of brokenness that echo across generations and in our own lives. In our session before Tisha B’Av\, we will read poems that dwell within sorrow and tenderness\, exploring the textures of grief—personal and collective\, spoken and unspoken. Through guided writing\, you will have space to give language to what is often hidden\, difficult to name\, or held in silence. \nTogether\, we will read poems by writers such as Gerald Stern\, Marie Howe\, Yehuda Amichai\, Emily Dickinson\, and Robert Frost—voices that accompany us through ache\, longing\, memory\, and meaning-making\, offering companionship as you begin to write your own poems. \nIn our second session\, following Tisha B’Av\, we will explore poems that hold consolation and resilience\, emphasizing how healing can emerge—not by erasing grief\, but by learning how to carry it with greater tenderness. Together\, we will write toward restoration\, compassion\, and quiet renewal. \nNo prior experience with poetry is necessary—only curiosity and a willingness to read\, reflect\, and write. \nThis series will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience. \nDr. Eve Grubin is the author of the book of poems Boat of Letters (Four Way Books). She is also the author of Morning Prayer (Sheep Meadow Press)\, The House of Our First Loving (Rack Press) and Grief Dialogue (Rack Press). Eve holds a PhD on the poetics of reticence\, and she is a lecturer at NYU London and a tutor at the Poetry School. \n\n\n      \n        \n      \n    \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Drawing from Torah: A Generative Jewish Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 15th\, 2026 \n12-1:30 p.m. EST \n \n\nHow do poets weave Jewish imagery\, Torah stories\, and sacred language into their work in ways that feel alive and authentic? And how might you do the same in your own poetry?\n \nThis generative poetry workshop invites you to explore Jewish themes through reading\, writing\, and conversation. Together\, we’ll read poems by writers such as John Keats\, Sharon Olds\, Dan Pagis\, Yehoshua November\, Marie Howe\, and Lucille Clifton—poets who draw on the Hebrew Bible and other Jewish texts to shape their work. We’ll look closely at how these writers transform ancient stories and symbols into powerful\, contemporary poems.\n \nYou’ll be guided through writing prompts inspired by these texts and poems\, with a special focus on moments from the Torah that spark imagination\, memory\, and meaning. During the session\, you’ll have time to write\, share your work (as you feel comfortable)\, and receive thoughtful\, supportive feedback.\n \nThis workshop is open to anyone interested in reading and writing poetry with Jewish themes—whether you’re an experienced poet or just beginning\, and whether your connection to Jewish texts is deep\, curious\, or newly forming.\n\n \nThis session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nDr. Eve Grubin is the author of the book of poems Boat of Letters (Four Way Books). She is also the author of Morning Prayer (Sheep Meadow Press)\, The House of Our First Loving (Rack Press) and Grief Dialogue (Rack Press). Eve holds a PhD on the poetics of reticence\, and she is a lecturer at NYU London and a tutor at the Poetry School.\n
