Split This Rock’s Winter 2026 Slate of Programs
Split This Rock is thrilled to share our Winter slate of programs. We hope many of you will join us to read, write, and create together in the new year!
These virtual offerings are made possible by the generosity of poets who have offered to donate their time and talents. With their help and yours, Split This Rock can bridge a $68,750 funding gap and continue our work of materially supporting poets who are often underrepresented, excluded, and erased from the literary landscape.
Tickets
Tickets for workshops and readings are sliding scale. Tickets can be purchased though each event's Zeffy registration page, linked below. All ticket sales support Split This Rock's fundraising efforts and sustain our urgent work. Thank you for your support!
Early-Bird Workshop Bundle Deal—Available Through 12/2!

Accessibility
Accessibility is a core value for Split This Rock. We strive to provide programs, materials, and communications that allow people within the disability community to engage fully.
- Workshops: Zoom auto-captions will be provided. Written versions of poem prompts and poems used for discussion will be provided via screen share, the chat, or links.
- Readings: On-screen ASL interpretation, Zoom auto-captions, and a document formatted for screen readers with poet bios & poem text will be provided.
Let us know of any accessibility questions or accommodation requests via the event registration form or by emailing info@splitthisrock.org with "ACCESS REQUEST" in the subject line. Requests received at least two weeks or more befoe the program date give us our best chance at fulfillment. Given our ongoing funding challenges, we cannot promise accessibility services, but will do our best to provide accommodations.
