[X] for Poets: Children’s Book Writing for Poets with Lesléa Newman, Sarah Sassoon and Rich Michelson

15th November 2026, Sunday – Join Sarah Sassoon for The Power of Image in Picture Books: Writing Through Objects and Memory, part of Yetzirah’s [X] for Poets series, Children’s Book Writing for Poets, with Lesléa Newman and Rich Michelson.

Picture books often begin with an image rather than a plot. In this generative workshop, Sarah explores how objects that hold memory can open up a story with emotional resonance and clarity for young readers, through themes of home, displacement and belonging. Bring an object that holds a story.

The series runs on three Sundays, 8, 15 and 22 November 2026, 12:00–1:30 PM ET. Book the full workshop or a single session here.
