2026 Workshop Series: January

enough is a poem
facilitated by Cori Kresge
Monday, January 12, 2026
7-9pm EST
Zoom

the workshop:

For the love of short poems. Aphorisms. Fragments. Seeds. Nuggets. Kernels. Bones. Distillations. Concise complexities. Plain truths. Let one thought be enough. Reveal the poem inside the poem. Say just what you mean. That's enough. What a relief! Let's spend two hours together writing/sharing/appreciating short short poems. All are welcome. Prompts provided.

the facilitator:

Cori Kresge is a writer, massage therapist, dance artist, and teacher. She has written two chapbooks: isn’t devotion (No, Dear/Small Anchor first chapbook prize, 2019) and Combustion Suite, (Bored Wolves, 2023). Her writings have appeared in Blush Lit, Terremoto Magazine, and the Writers Studio Anthology. She regularly teaches for the Merce Cunningham Trust and has been a guest teacher at NYU Tisch, SUNY Purchase, and School for Poetic Computation, among others. In 2020 she founded Play With Matches Workshop, pairing artists of different disciplines together to co-mentor one another as they create.
