NEWARK - Let's Get Physical: Writing Poetry about the Body

  • NEWARK PUBLIC LIBRARY (PHILIP ROTH PERSONAL LIBRARY, 2ND FLOOR) 5 Washington St Newark, NJ, 07102 United States (map)

@queer_femme_care_bear My Writing the Body workshop was rescheduled due to weather and will now be on Thursday, April 18th! Free food will be provided because to write about the body we must also nourish our bodies. I’m so excited that the workshop will happen during National Poetry Month, and I am so excited to explore how we write poems about embodiment, sexuality, visceral experiences, body image struggles, the way diet culture robs us of our pleasure and power, and how to use language to heal and celebrate our bodies. This workshop is open to ALL levels and everyone will leave having written a new poem!
