As part of the Write ME Epistolary Poetry Project, poet Claire Millikin will lead a free epistolary poetry workshop.

The Postcard: Millikin writes, “In this workshop, we will write postcard prose poems. Real postcards will be provided, and we will use those to jumpstart our prose poems. I will bring Charles Simic’s The World Does Not End to show some models of prose poems.”

Claire Millikin is the author of ten poetry collections, including Magicicada (Unicorn Press 2024), a book that confronts the experience of juvenile solitary confinement through the metaphor of the cicada. Millikin teaches for the University of Maine system, and lives in Owls Head. 

This event is FREE.
