This workshop is open for all.
In this poetry writing workshop we'll be exploring trans and queer poets' work. How they make and break language 'rules' and use form to say even more. We'll be reading poets including Alok Vaid-Menon, Akwaeke Emezi and Chen Chen, and responding through free writes. Please bring pen/paper/whatever device you like to write on. They'll be time for sharing (if you wish to). Gayathiri's workshops are relaxed, feel free to bring food/drinks/whatever you need to make you feel comfortable in the space.
This workshop is part of our LGBT+ History Month Programme which includes drag makeup workshop & 2 movement based workshops: using movement to connect with the emotional body and a dive into dancehall.
