An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Ae Hee Lee!
One of the wonders of poetry is how it can reawaken us to the world. The familiar can be reignited with color, metamorphosed into creatures, landscapes, languages, and music that can re-astonish us into beauty. The process can also support us in our resistance against becoming desensitized to witnessing the personal and political violences that permeate our lives. In this generative poetry workshop, we will use writing prompts to look upon what we may have rendered as quotidian in our lives and make it strange again and again.
