Remote 3-Hour Workshop: Anastacia-Renee: Crying Out Loud

Crying Out Loud

We will examine overarching themes, hybridity, historical nuances, technique, and writing with courage from Audre Lorde, Patricia Smith, Jane Wong and Bettina Judd. Discussion will include intersection(s) and entry points of race, culture, and sexuality and what it means when, as Audre Lorde said, “There’s always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself—whether it’s Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc.—because that’s the piece that they need to key in to.” We’ll write one piece that demonstrates courageous hybrid writing with an emphasis on poetry and will end the class with a brief exercise in editing without the nagging voice of imposter syndrome.

3 hours on Saturday  |  December 9  |  12-3pm ET  |  $105 ($90 for Members)

All are welcome, space is limited. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Please email support@poetshouse.org with any questions.
