A poetry workshop for queer-identified writers who want to write poems. We’ll explore writing poems from a queer orientation, read and discuss contemporary queer poets as a site of inspiration, joy, and expression, and write our own poems using queer identity as both a foundation and a means of queering genre. A desire to write poems is all that's needed, along with a willingness to play, experiment, generate ideas, and co-create a supportive, queer workshop experience.
