POETRY | $10 | ALL AGES | As writers, we often tuck the biggest truth between the lines. In this generative workshop, we will explore addendum poems. An addendum is an item of additional material added at the end of something, typically in order to correct, clarify, or supplement. Addendum poems allow us to do just that. We’ll practice naming the unsaid in our own work and in the poems we love. Example poems and songs will be provided and discussed. All levels are welcome!

Christian Perfas / Soul Stuf is a second generation Filipino-American spoken word artist based in the Greater Los Angeles Area. His work addresses a wide range of themes, from the seemingly mundane to the heart-wrenchingly familiar: youth, self-discovery, and intersectional identity are but a few of the topics he tackles in his multifaceted performances. He has graced stages all across the country, from San Diego to Boston and was ranked in the "Top 25 Poets of the World" in the Individual World Poetry Slam of 2018. Collaborating with organizations such as All Def Digital, House of Blues Anaheim, The Comedy Store, The Upright Citizens Brigade, and Sofar Sounds, Soul Stuf is a consummate professional and all-around showman. His first officially published book, "Play: A Reclamation Of Soul" is now available online along with his first fully produced poetry EP in collaboration with The Fictitious Professor.
