Jenny Xie

Join us as Jenny Xie leads a generative and revision-oriented workshop where we consider works by poets such as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Paul Celan, and Sahar Muradi, and engage in exercises meant to de-domesticate, and de-discipline, our lines and upend the usual assumptions about what language can, and should, do.

A Workshop for Immigrant & Refugee Poets

with

Carolina Ebeid

How do we open a creative space for undervalued and intangible heirlooms, and ephemera -- objects lost in migration, now only filed in memory?

Join us as Carolina Ebeid leads a craft discussion and generative workshop where we consider the question by engaging the work of multimedia writers and crafting poems that reach towards an answer framed in our own experiences and generational memories.

This workshop is free and open to the public. However, due to space constraints, RSVPs will be required for the workshop. Please follow the link below for more information.
