Poetry can express what ordinary speech cannot — including the spiritual, the intimate, and the unresolved. In this workshop, award-winning poet Yehoshua November examines how Jewish themes, spiritual longing, and everyday experience appear in contemporary poetry, and how creative writing can become a vessel for reflection and connection. Participants will read, discuss, and write original poems guided by prompts and conversation.
