Guilty Pleasures: Making Lyric Poetry Out of Pop Culture

08/25/2026 - 7:00pm to 8:30pm CDT
Poetry
Workshop

Ever caught yourself deeply affected by a reality TV argument, an obscure 90s commercial, or had one song stuck in your head for a decade?

​Join MFA poet and veteran educator Bree Rolfe for a high-energy, 90-minute online generative writing workshop where we turn our favorite "guilty pleasures," pop culture artifacts, and nostalgic obsessions into fresh, surprising poems.

​In this low-pressure, fast-paced session, we’ll leave literary pretense at the door.

What You’ll Get:

  • 3 New Raw Drafts: High-speed prompts designed to quiet your inner editor and get words on the page immediately.

  • Low-Stakes Community: A supportive, playful environment with optional sharing and zero forced critiques.

  • A New Craft Toolkit: Creative strategies for sampling, remixing, and borrowing voice from the world around you.

No advance reading or prep required—just bring your favorite guilty pleasure and something to write with!
