WORKSHOP | $12 PRE // $15 DOS | ALL AGES | Looking for a welcoming, nonjudgmental queer and trans centered writing community? Ready to write the poems for the lives we want, and for the world we are calling in? In this workshop, we’ll read inspiring queer and trans poets, break old spells, and conjure new ones for the revolution. We’ll explore how words can confront and dissolve both our fears and empire, ground us in resilience, and reimagine a path forward, where we're rooted in our own individual and communal queer and trans wisdom. You will leave with new writing and prompts you can take with you and use again and again. Beginner and all levels friendly.
