Ancestors Taught Me: A Poetry-Writing Workshop Series in the Black Radical Tradition
Join us every first Saturday from 1:30-3pm
Led by amalee bea, we will support each other in growing as writers and as people by reading, writing, sharing and discussing poems from prolific Black writers such as Toni Bambara, James Baldwin, etc. The workshops are intended for all experience levels! Whether you’ve never written poetry or have written poetry for years, it will be fun & supportive.
The workshops can be attended on a one-off basis, but/and regular attendance will create a richer experience for all of us as it will allow us to build familiarity with each other, each other’s work, and the poets we’ll be reading, making for better discussions.
