Jun. 20 | 2–4 pm CDT @ Charles Allis Art Museum: The Good Death (1801 N. Prospect Ave., Milwaukee)If you could choose all the details, how would you want to experience the end of your life? These conversations are often emotional and intimidating, but using poetry as a tool to meet death in the abstract, participants will be able to contemplate, verbalize, and advocate for their ideal end-of-life care. Workshop participants will take inspiration from the historic Charles Allis Art Museum to contemplate the Victorian concept of The Good Death and the changes in American practices around death in the last 150 years. Additional resources from Greater Milwaukee Death Doulas will also be provided.For full series details visit: https://woodlandpattern.org/events/workshop-series-…with-lily-lalios*****Lily Lalios is a writer based in Milwaukee who has been published by #EnbyLife journal, Pitymilk Press, and VA Press. They also produced Apagimeni Literary Magazine, a compilation of poetry, essays, and visual art by and about the queer Greek American experience. Lily’s work made the long list for the 2024 SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction, and they were a finalist for the 2025 Genrepunk Haunting Award. Currently, Lily is also a member of the writing team for Cabaret Milwaukee, a theatre troupe that performs radio dramas about Wisconsin history.Lily’s project Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie is a yearlong series of free community poetry workshops, culminating in a print anthology. These generative workshops, designed for Milwaukee residents and writers of all experience levels, will explore one or more of the project’s four major themes; Grief and Death practices, Local Eco-Writing, Interfaith/Intercultural Memory-Keeping, and Ekphrastic Poetry. Workshops will be held at various locations around the city in order to offer site-specific inspiration related to the theme, as well as to allow participants to explore their city and meet neighbors they might not otherwise encounter.Workshops are free and open to the public, and participants are welcome to come to as many or as few as they like. Please register for each session in which you plan to attend. While these themes are sure to inspire highly personal and vulnerable work, participants are welcome to submit their generated works to the community anthology, which will commemorate the project and serve as a testament to the importance of collective grieving and the cathartic power of poetry.Lily will receive administrative support from our staff, along with a $1,500 project budget to carry out their vision.*****About the Milwaukee Emerging Poet Fellowship program: Drawing inspiration from both the Mary L. Nohl Fund Emerging Artist Fellowship and the Poetry Project’s Emerge Surface Be program, Woodland Pattern established the Milwaukee Emerging Poet Fellowship program in 2022 to bring greater visibility and much-needed early support to Milwaukee poets through mentorships, access to opportunities that encourage a poet’s practice and development, and investment in literary projects for which younger poets frequently lack resources. The Milwaukee Emerging Poet Fellowship program also seeks to make available alternative avenues of support for emerging poets outside traditional academic-track poetry programs and environments. This initiative is open to Milwaukee poets between the ages of 20 and 35, who are not currently enrolled in an MFA or PhD program. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/milwaukee/workshop-series-over-the-prairie-under-the-prairie-with-lily-lalios/100001985402338841 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops, theatre, performances, fine-arts, entertainment - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Charles Allis Art Museum - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Milwaukee - **state**: WI - **country**: United States - **location**: Charles Allis Art Museum - **lat**: 43.0537138 - **long**: -87.8903617 - **full address**: Charles Allis Art Museum, 1801 North Prospect Avenue, Milwaukee, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Workshop Series: Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie with Lily Lalios - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ebe6f6ce4a9fbd6811ab85b35cb4f9a5f5d6b208a0ded5fd959188f52e4329c4-rimg-w1200-h675-dccec6c3-gmir.jpg?v=1774066764 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Workshop Series: Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie with Lily Lalios being held? - **A:** Workshop Series: Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie with Lily Lalios takes place on Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Charles Allis Art Museum, 1801 North Prospect Avenue, Milwaukee, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Workshop Series: Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie with Lily Lalios? - **A:** Workshop Series: Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie with Lily Lalios is organized by Woodland Pattern Book Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
