Writing prompt #36: ASSUMING OTHER IDENTITIES

Hi Everyone,

Recently, I came across an article about poet Glenis Richmond who learned to grapple with her difficult Southern history by tackling it via persona poems—both writing and teaching them.

Here’s the piece:

YOUR PROMPT:

Follow the suggestions in the article about how to write a persona poem. Feel free to write this ‘persona’ as prose, in a hybrid form, or any way you wish. Using a historical figure is encouraged!

Have fun!

Abrazos,

Cristina
