Historical Poetry: Writing About Our Shared Past

Our very own Ypsilanti, Michigan, has an incredibly rich history, including stops on the Underground Railroad, Indigenous trading posts, and a well-known water tower. Join YpsiWrites’ Writer in Residence, Angelica Esquivel, to learn more about Ypsilanti’s history and then craft an original poem inspired by a historical event or figure. This workshop is part of Angelica’s “Envisioning Ypsi: Histories and Futures” residency program, and poems created at this event are invited to be submitted to the anthology Angelica is developing during her residency.
