Christopher Citro Poetry Workshop
July 28, 2021 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing teacher Christopher Citro leads a Generative Workshop, where he shares a packet of published poems (focusing on one or a few craft elements), we talk about the poems a little, he shares prompts he’s written, then people can write to those during the workshop. We end by sharing what we wrote in class. We don’t critique that writing, instead we use the time to deepen our experience of craft elements while getting inspired to write more!
Email ccooney@clamsnet.org to register.
Christopher Citro is the author of If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun
(Elixir Press, 2021), winner of the 2019 Antivenom Poetry Award, and The Maintenance of the
Shimmy-Shammy (Steel Toe Books, 2015). His honors include a 2018 Pushcart Prize for poetry,
a 2019 fellowship from the Ragdale Foundation, Columbia Journal’s poetry award, and a
creative nonfiction award from The Florida Review. Christopher’s poetry appears widely in
literary journals such as American Poetry Review, Ploughshares, Iowa Review, West Branch,
Gulf Coast, and Alaska Quarterly Review, and it has been anthologized in venues such as Best
New Poets, New Poetry from the Midwest, Every River on Earth: Writing from Appalachian
Ohio, They Said: An Anthology of Contemporary Collaborative Writing, and elsewhere. He has
taught at the University of Kansas, Indiana University, Kettle Pond Writers’Conference, and in
the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing.
