"Libre": Reassembled
One Book One New Orleans welcomes all to an interactive collage workshop where we'll create poetry using lines from "Libre" by Skye Jackson.
In celebration of National Poetry Month, join One Book One New Orleans for a hands-on event inspired by our 2026 selection, Libre by Skye Jackson. During this workshop, we’ll deconstruct poems from the book and rebuild them into something entirely new.
Participants will work with excerpts from Libre, cutting text into fragments—words, phrases, and lines—then rearranging them into original compositions. The "remix" process opens space for unexpected meanings and new creations to emerge from familiar material. We’ll close with an optional open mic, where participants can share their remixed poems.
No prior experience with poetry is needed. All materials will be provided; just bring your imagination!
This event is free and open to all.
Ecology Beer Creative is accessible to community members requiring mobility-related ADA accommodations. The nearest bus stop is on the corner of Oretha Castle Haley and Martin Luther King Blvd, approximately a three-minute walk.
