# Event Details - **Event Name**: Words for My Father Poetry Workshop - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Words for My Father is a poetry workshop led by Poetry for the Masses in collaboration with non-alcoholic bottle shop Burden of Proof.About this EventWhether complicated, loving, absent, evolving, or deeply influential, Words for My Father invites our poets to explore the many dimensions of their relationships with their fathers. Through guided poetry prompts and discussion, we will discover how language can help us honor nuance, preserve memory, and give shape to emotions that are often difficult to express. We welcome the full spectrum of experience here, and will expand to include other father figures, mentors, and ancestors when they apply. Our poets are always encouraged to write honestly and wholeheartedly, as we offer a supportive space to reflect, write and engage in community. No prior poetry experience is necessary to attend a Poetry for the Masses workshop – only a willingness to reflect, write, and try something new. We will meet you where you are, and are looking forward to hearing your poetry, and in turn hearing your story.Themes: memory, identity, inheritance, legacyGrab your ticket here and let us know you’re coming!
