What The Living Do

Poetry Workshop with Noelia Cerna *

Join us for a poetry workshop with Noelia Cerna!

In this generative workshop we will write poetry that explores the ordinary miracles of day-to-day life. We will examine the ways we move through our daily worlds, write to those we are grieving and celebrate the mundane magic of living. 

Noelia Cerna is a Latina poet based in Springdale, AR. She was born in Costa Rica and immigrated to the United States at the age of 7 where she received a Bachelor’s degree in English from Westminster College in Missouri. Her poems have been published in audio form in Terse. Journal and in print in The Revolution [Relaunch], the Girl Gang blog, the Plants and Poetry Journal and The North Meridian Review. Noelia is a book editor for the North Meridian Review and an award-winning writing mentor for Pen America’s Prison Writing Mentorship program.

This program is presented as part of Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home, a major public humanities initiative taking place across the nation in 2024 and 2025, directed by Library of America and funded with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

All abilities are welcome. For disability accommodations, call 479.856.7250 or email questions@faylib.org 2-3 weekdays before a program.
