The Torah doesn\u2019t say, but many poets from Akhmatova to Diaz have embraced this question. Studying Midrashic poets can offer new perspectives on ancient questions.<\/p>\n<p>Should Joseph have forgiven his brothers? Should Sharon Olds (a poet) have forgiven her mother? We can use modern poets to explore themes the Torah raises.<\/p>\n<h2>One-on-One Consultations<\/h2>\n<p>For poets at any stage, I provide supportive advice and recommend next steps.<\/p>\n<h2>Poetry and Prayer: The Venn Diagram<\/h2>\n<p>\u201c<em>Poetry is a soul making activity<\/em>\u201d<br \/>\n\u2013Edward Hirsch<\/p>\n<p>We explore the crossover between poetry and prayer, gaining insight into both.<\/p>\n<h2>Poetic Techniques: An On-ramp to Prayer<\/h2>\n<p>Juxtaposition, repetition, and metaphor hide in plain sight in our siddur. Exploring them gives us new ways to appreciate the prayers.<\/p>\n<h2>Poetry Writing Workshops<\/h2>\n<p>We can work together to design writing workshops for your community.
