We have so many reasons not to write! Audre Lorde taught us that poetry is not a luxury and still we struggle to find the time or see the point. In this multigenre workshop, we will ask how and why to write in a world on fire. We’ll look to queer/trans writers for models of possibility. Through a series of exercises, we’ll practice listening for—and transmitting—our own signals through the noise. While there will be opportunities to share drafts and receive feedback, this is primarily a generative workshop. Bring a project you’re working on, or find something new here.
