Writing Poetry with Soul, with Cliff Taylor

Writing Poetry with Soul is a workshop for anyone who wants to explore how tailor-made poetry is for the expression of our human soul. What happens when we allow our depths to sing in a poem, surface and play, place a tear in our words, speak to someone or something we’ve always wanted to speak to? Bring your notebook, your curiosity and bravery, your respect for the mystery of yourself, and let’s find out!

Cliff Taylor is an enrolled member of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. He is a writer, poet, speaker, and storyteller. His essays and poems have been published both online with lastrealindians.com, where he is a regular contributor, and in print with The Yellow Medicine Review, Jelly Bucket, Oakwood Magazine, and Hipfish Monthly. He is the author of The Memory of Souls, a memoir of the Sundance and his walk/life with the little people, and the recent poetry collection The Native Who Never Left. A Nebraskan through and through, he currently resides on the Oregon Coast with his sweetheart of many years.

There are scholarships available to support those who wish to attend the workshop at a reduced or free cost. Email info@thewritersguild.org to request one.
