Join us on Friday, October 30th, for a generative workshop with featured reader Eloisa Amezcua:
How can sound and diction make personal histories and narratives tangible to the reader? In this workshop we will explore our own lexicons, how they're shaped by the world around us, and how to best use them to create emotional texture in our poems.
**
Space is limited to 20 participants.
The workshop will take place virtually via Zoom with Otter Live Captions. An ASL interpreter will be present. Access copies of workshop materials will be made available via Google Docs.
