Generations of people, much like language, change over time. Every once and a while, there are unknown relatives to add to our family tree or new words in an etymology chart. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to select a word, follow its root on an etymology chart, and write a poem inspired by each new word. Family tree templates will also be available to fill in with poetry. Generative writing exercises will be inspired by excerpts of poems, literary archives, and more.
