🕸️ Tuition: Sliding scale ($20-$50 per session) and scholarship options; we want this offering to be possible for anyone interested!
This course is for everyone: Asian diasporic people, QT/BIPOC, anti-imperialists, and anyone interested in deepening their writing practice towards themes of justice, solidarity, and liberation. We will learn through the fields of political education, Asian American studies, literary craft, poetry, and conversations.
Participants have the option of signing up for individual classes or enrolling for the full 6-class series, each class themed around a different topic:
10/6 Names 🪞
10/20 Anxiety 😵💫
11/3 Refusals 🙅🏻♀️
11/17 Mitski 🌠
12/1 Mothers 🌱
12/15 Freedom ❤️🔥
We believe in everyone’s capacity to articulate how they move through the world, to read and write poetry, with an eye toward how building this capacity helps us show up bravely and lovingly in our communities. We’d love for you to join us in building an intergenerational cohort and community of poets and organizers deeply rooted throughout the Bay Area.
We will highlight the connection between decolonial anti-capitalist perspectives and the craft of poetry, and offer this space to writers of all capacities seeking to ground themselves in such a position, and to imagine what the work of poetry might be.
💬 Which topic(s) are you feeling most curious about?
