A persona poem is a poem in which the poet speaks through an assumed voice (says poets.org). Essentially - putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes!
According to MasterClass, “The writer develops a character—either a historical figure, a fictional person, or a nonhuman animal or object—and speaks as them from the first-person perspective.”
If participants find it difficult to think up a character out of thin air, there will be magazines available for inspiration.
