A poetry workshop can transform the way individuals connect with their emotions and each other, fostering a vibrant poetry community.At Harvard’s Woodberry Poetry Room, the recently held workshop is a shining example of this, as participants ventured into the world of poetic expression through the "Elegy Project." Led by Karen Elizabeth Bishop and David Sherman, this initiative invited both seasoned poets and beginners to explore the depths of creativity while confronting themes of loneliness and grief brought to the forefront by the pandemic.
