What happens when memory becomes myth? When lived experience takes on the weight of story, symbol, and inheritance? In this generative poetry workshop, we’ll explore how poets transform personal memory into mythic material, using archetype, repetition, fragmentation, and lyric pressure to move beyond confession and into resonance. We’ll look at how memory shifts when it’s told and retold, how the self becomes a figure, and how silence, distortion, and exaggeration can deepen emotional truth rather than obscure it. Through close readings of contemporary poets and guided writing exercises, we’ll examine how myth operates not as fantasy, but as structure, shaping identity, grief, lineage, and belonging. The session includes close reading, craft discussion, and generative prompts. By the end of this session, participants will analyze how poets use mythic frameworks to elevate personal material, explore memory as narrative, distortion, and inheritance, generate new poems that work with archetype, symbol, and recurrence, experiment with techniques such as invocation, echo, and ritual language, and revise poems to move from anecdote toward resonance and emotional depth.
