Princeton Festival Hosts Poetry Workshop Guided by Nicole Homer

(PRINCETON, NJ) -- The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) invites poets of all ages to be a part of a free poetry workshop to be held Saturday, June 18 at 12:30pm during the 2022 Princeton Festival. Guest poet Nicole Homer will lead the “Just Poetry” workshop and talk about how what we see onstage can move us to be creative. This year’s prompt invites poets to take inspiration from themes found in Derrick Wang’s opera Scalia/Ginsburg. The poetry will explore what it means to be a feminist, the concept of dissent, and how to forge unlikely friendships in difficult times. 

Participants can bring their original poetry and receive first-hand feedback in this guided masterclass. They will also have the opportunity to read their poetry aloud afterwards at a 3pm “Just Poetry” reading. Both events are free and open to the public. For additional information or to RSVP, visit princetonsymphony.org/festival or contact Katie Miller at kmiller@princetonsymphony.org.

Nicole Homer is a New Jersey-based community college educator, poet, writer, and performer whose work can be found in the American Academy of Poets Poem-a-Day, Muzzle, The Offing, Rattle, and elsewhere. A fellow of Callaloo, Bread Loaf, Tin House, and Sewanee Writers’ Conference, Homer serves as a Contributing Editor at BlackNerdProblems. Their award-winning collection, Pecking Order (Write Bloody 2017), explores race and gender politics in the domestic sphere. She is honored to have shared stages with poets in slams across the country, to have been the 2018 Dartmouth Poet-in-Residence at The Frost Place, to have received a 2020 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and to be alive. She is currently working on her next project, Fast Tail.
