What is Starpower Creative ?

“How to Write A Poem (On Your Own Terms)” Workshop Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books, May 2024

Let’s Get Social!

Founded by Leo Smith, Starpower Creative LLC. is a home for poets & writers to heal their writing blocks & deepen their authentic voices.

Existing to uncover the magic and authenticity in each of us (aka Starpower), Starpower infuses shadow work & holistic healing practices into all its offerings: poetry & creative writing workshops, poetry editing services, & community events. 

Starpower upholds the act of writing as an unfiltered, artistic, & intuitive channel connecting our minds, hearts, bodies, & souls. When we experience Writer’s Block, it is often a sign that shadow work – the act of uncovering & releasing our repressed emotions – needs to take place.

By combining shadow work & creative writing healing, Starpower Creative serves to build and nurture confident, authentic self-expression within the collective.

“For each of us.. there is a dark place within where hidden and growing our true spirit rises …. Within these deep places, each one of us holds an incredible reserve of creativity and power, of unexamined and unrecorded emotion and feeling.”

— Audre Lorde, "Poetry Is Not a Luxury"
