Noir Poetics: Writing in the Shadows

with Nicelle Davis

Wednesday, June 11, 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. Eastern Time

$100 Full / $50 Reduced / $25 Scholarship

*Live on Google Meet. This workshop will be recorded.

 
 This poetry class explores the beautiful strangeness of noir—its shadows, its longing, its mystery. Together, we’ll read poets who speak from the edge, who blur the line between beauty and grit. We’ll write our own poems that investigate memory, truth, and the things that haunt us. Expect to experiment with voice, tone, and imagery. Expect to be surprised. No prior experience is needed—just bring curiosity and something to write with. Poetry is our flashlight; let’s see what we can find in the dark.

Nicelle has generously donated her instructor’s proceeds to the scholarship fund for future Poet Camp events. This is so kind, and will allow us to offer scholarship seats to Cozy Writing events, and to continue to offer reduced rates at live workshops and Jumpstarts. Thank you for paying what you’re able!
