2/29 - Look Who's Talking: a persona poem workshop • This is generative workshop will explore ways for poets to write outside of their own voice to discover new possibilities of care and concern on and off the page. If you've ever read Patricia Smith's poem Skinhead, then know this is the kind of provocation and wonder this workshop will examine! Bring all of your voices, and come join us. • Beyond Baroque • 681 Venice Blvd. • Venice, CA 90291
MARCH
3/4-3/7 - AWP Writing Conference panelist, Burning the House Down: Mixed Race and Writing • “What are you mixed with?” When Mixed Race writers turn their gaze on race & writing in America, they might burn the house down. Using writing as activism to confront implicit biases and inherited classification; the need to make sense of well-meaning colleagues, friends and strangers' critique on literary motifs, characterization and authors' physical appearances have forced some writers to move from navel-gazing to a serious interrogation of colorism, racial formation and the role of writing. • Henry B. González Convention Center • San Antonio, TX
DUE TO COVID-19 all remaining 2020 events publicized on my instagram account. I will resume in the fall, via Zoom or other video platforms. Until then, be safe. See you online!
