Registration is open for the autumn cycle of Emotional Historians! If the time slots you want are full, you can still sign up for the waitlist, or to get an advance email the next time classes open. Grateful to anyone and everyone who spreads the word. LINK IN BIO. 📢📝📚🚀🏆🌞🌗🌏 Slide One: Registration is now open for the Autumn cycle of "Emotional Historians,” a weekly generative poetry workshop. Classes begin the week of Septmeber 19th, then run for six weeks. These are small, highly interactive, Zoom classes, around 20 people per section. Workshops run between two-and-a-half and three hours. All experience levels are encouraged. The cost is a sliding scale from $150-$300. I also have a few scholarships available (priority will be given to writers who are undocumented, BIPOC, and/or trans). The workshop description is on the next slide. You can register at the link in my bio! If none of the available times work, you can still sign up for the waiting list, or to get an advance email when new classes become available. —————— Slide Two: In the world of people, celebration is often laced with melancholy, joy is a border that surrounds sorrow, and fear is usually one doorbell away from bravery. So, how the fork can we construct poems that acknowledge a complicated and dynamic world? How do we avoid writing that transforms us into caricatures? How do we convey what it feels like to be us, alive at the onset of a new millennium? If the job of an artist is that of an emotional historian, then we must create poems that are as multi-dimensional and layered as the people who write them. If we're to properly archive, we must ask ourselves not whether this is a great poem, but rather, is this today's poem?
