Inspired by the work of bold, contemporary poets such as Hieu Minh Nguyen, Ocean Vuong, Richard Siken and Patricia Smith, this three-hour generative workshop will use purpose, potency and power to ignite poetry that addresses social justice and the issues we face today. Anchored in urgency, identity and experience, poets will learn to write in ways that deliver empathy and power. Join us if you want to create art that can uproot conventions, challenge the powerful and inspire critical and vital change in our world.

Class limited to 10 poets; First Saturday of every month; Tuition: $50
