via Zoom
One-Time Generative Writing Workshop
Class Description
In this class, we’ll delve into poetry as a powerful form of testimony, exploring the roles of the poet as confronter, guidepost, and cultivator. Drawing inspiration from bell hooks' All About Love: New Visions, we will examine how our voices as poets can create ripples through time and space, contributing to both personal and collective healing journeys. Through engaging discussions and guided prompts, you will discover how to harness the transformative power of poetry as a tool for connection and self-expression. You’ll develop your unique narrative and feel empowered to navigate your own stories while inspiring others in the process.
