About the Workshop:
For this event, we will be at Stark Brewing in Manchester!!
This will be a workshop hosted by none other than JeFF Stumpo! It is free to get in but we strongly encourage people to order drinks and tip generously!
Workshop Topic:
Everything But The Kitchen Sink
Michelangelo once said something to the effect that the statue was already in the marble, he just had to find it. We’re going to engage in a two-part generative workshop. In the first half, you’ll do free writing about a setting into which workshop leader JeFF Stumpo continually adds complications. In the second half, you’ll pull concepts and lines out of the marble, so to speak, to find kernels of future poems.
About the Workshop Host:
JeFF Stumpo is the 2026 Granite State Poetry Prize winner. He is the author of the poetry collection these are the waterfalls in my head (Yas Press 2026) as well as a handful of chapbooks. He's a former adjunct professor, a former bookstore owner, a current stay-at-home dad, and an occasional builder of things.
Covid Safety Guidelines:
Our space is pro safety and pro vaccination. We encourage all unvaccinated individuals to wear masks during our events.
