Grief Tending in Good Company: A Generative Poetry Workshop @ WordHaven

Grief changes how we speak, how we remember, and how we connect. In this generative poetry workshop, we’ll gather in good company to explore what language can offer us in times of loss.

Through guided writing prompts, sensory exploration, and close readings of contemporary poems, participants will reflect on themes of absence, longing, memory, and transformation. You'll be invited to write from your own experience—whether personal, ancestral, or collective—with space for quiet reflection and optional sharing.

This is a space for poets, journalers, and the grief-curious alike. No prior writing experience is required—just a willingness to listen inward and write from the heart.

Bring a notebook, a pen, and your tender courage. Let’s write our way through together.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

KP Kaszubowski is a poet, educator, filmmaker, and astrologer based in Sheboygan. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing (Poetry) from Eastern Washington University and a BA in Journalism and Documentary Studies from UW–Milwaukee. Her work spans poetry, film, and community ritual, often exploring themes of memory, embodiment, and the unseen layers of personal and collective experience.

In addition to publishing poetry in literary journals, KP's debut feature film RINGOLEVIO premiered at Dances with Films (LA) in 2020.

With a background in both creative writing and ritual arts, she leads writing workshops that emphasize emotional depth, poetic form, and the healing potential of language. She believes in writing as a way to make meaning, build connection, and tend to grief with care and imagination.
