Queer Poetics: A Pride Month Workshop with poet Caroline M. Mar

$65.00

Happy pride! We'll spend most of this class reveling in queer joy through poetry - reading, discussing, and writing some of our own. What even makes a poem queer? Is it the poet's identity, or the speaker of the poem's? Is it the poem's content, or context, or as the youth say, vibes? Bring your pride, your enthusiasm, your notebook, and (optionally) your favorite queer poems. 

Thursday, June 25 from 7:00-8:30 pm

(15% discount for Backstory co-working and community members.)
