Writing Short: Poetry in the Palm of Your Hand

The next workshop I’m teaching for Writespace Houston is Writing Short: Poetry in the Palm of Your Hand. Poetry doesn’t need to be long to be profound or funny or beautiful. Discover the joys of writing short poems in this one-day workshop. We’ll talk about using limited forms like haiku to help us be more creative, and how to create an entire scene or mood in just one short stanza. We’ll find inspiration in everyday objects, tell stories in short works, and explore rhyme, meter, and free verse. Writers of all levels are welcome.

TIME: Saturday, September 25, 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. CDT
PRICE: Early bird until Monday, September 20: $45 for members, $60 for nonmembers. After Monday, September 20: $55 for members, $70 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.
LOCATION: Online via Zoom

Guest lectures and workshops

A reminder to friends and colleagues that I love doing guest lectures and such. Recently, I’ve talked about theatrical soundscapes, the Gothic and early modern plays, all sorts of things related to silent film, disability, doing research, and creativity. Check out a list of my presentations here, and email me at kendraleonard at pm dot me to talk about what I can bring to your classroom, group, or community.

Sharing the love: Humanities Commons

For the 5 or 10 of you out there who don’t know how much I love Humanities Commons, Bonnie Russell of HC interviewed me about how I use HCommons, my various sites and groups on it, and why I think that using CommentPress is the way of the future for scholarly publishing that is robust and accessible. Got questions about the Commons? Ask me!
