HOME SCHOOL: Poetry Workshop "WITH THESE WORDS"

[Jk]creativ.

An interactive poetry workshop with Jerome Bailey, Jr. exploring language as resistance through guided prompts.  Join us!

Winter Street Studios

For Bailey, language is a form of resistance. It is how people survive, reach one another, and make meaning when the world gives them limited terms. As an award-winning journalist, Bailey has spent years entering people’s homes, listening across difference, and finding the common ground needed to tell a story truthfully. That experience now lives at the center of his art. In Bailey’s practice, language is not simply written and painting is not simply visual. He does both at once. He composes with words and with image, using poetry, surface, rhythm, and design to make meaning land with force. “WITH THESE WORDS” explores vernacular, linguistics, and personal speech as forces that shape how we are understood and how we communicate across different lives and lived experience. Through guided prompts and conversation, participants will be invited to think more deeply about the language they already carry and how to use it with greater clarity and power.
