MoSt Summer Workshop – Biographical Poetry
Biographical poetry combines fact with imagination to depict an aspect or overview of an actual person’s life. In this MoSt Poetry Summer Workshop, we’ll read and discuss examples of biographical poetry featuring historical figures and selected authors’ ancestors. Workshop participants will write first drafts in response to poetry prompts offered by facilitator Linda Scheller, MoSt Poetry board member and the author of two collections of biographical poetry, Fierce Light and Laurels. Emerging poets, experienced writers, and everyone in between is welcome, and there’s no need to register in advance for this free workshop. Please join us Saturday, August 22nd, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Salida Public Library, 4835 Sisk Road, Salida CA 95368.
