The Workshop by urban university

Poetry Ancestors is a generative writing workshop that invites you into poetry as ritual, remembrance, and inheritance.

3235 Grand Ave

Poetry Ancestors is a generative writing workshop that invites you into poetry as ritual, remembrance, and inheritance. Together, we will explore how language can reconnect us to lineage, both personal and cultural, and how writing can become a practice of return rather than performance. Through guided prompts, reflection, and shared space, participants will work with memory as material. We will consider what has been passed down, what has been lost, and what can be reimagined. This is a space for slowing down, listening closely, and writing from a place that honors those who came before us. The Neighborhood Plant Dealer will be on site with plants and herbs for building poetry altars, offering a tactile way to ground your writing in ritual and intention. Open to all levels. Come ready to write, reflect, and be in community. *Eventbrite charges a small processing fee. By choosing to cover this fee at checkout, you ensure that our charity organization, urban university receives the full value of your registration.
