Drop-in Poetry Workshop

This three-hour workshop is designed for all levels of poets to explore identity from the many intersections of race, class, gender, body and environment. We’ll read related works by contemporary poets and generate new work based on in-class exercises. Bring a draft you’ve been working on or write something new. We will give feedback on each other’s work and learn the basics of performance poetry. But most of all, we will deep dive into the infinite I’s within us; still waiting to be discovered.
