Workshop Description: This craft talk invites participants to explore how myth, form, and voice can illuminate queer identity in poetry. We’ll closely examine two to three celebrated published poems that engage mythic frameworks to express personal truths. By analyzing the journals that selected these works and discussing what makes them resonate with readers, editors, and fellow poets, participants will gain insight into how imaginative approaches to identity can deepen poetic impact. When we expand creative resonance, we employ precision with power, authenticity, and excitement: this craft talk is for LGBTQ+ writers who are ready to stand out in their submissions.
