826LA@Hammer: Reimagining the American Poem

  • This is a past program

Recommended for ages 8–14

The word "America" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. In this workshop, rewrite famous patriotic works and compose poems about your own version of America. Miranda Tsang is a multiethnic writer and educator from San Francisco. She has received scholarships from Community of Writers at Squaw Valley, Bread Loaf, and Kearny Street Workshop. Her writing is published in Lumen, Public Pool, and The Offing.
