The Brooklyn Poetry Slam Writing Workshop is designed to investigate how our experiences can inform our poetry. Focusing on imagery and new ways in which we study contemporary poetry, this workshop will bloom new writing in an effort to create an urgent dialogue using our memories as limbs with their own language. The workshop consists of five components: analysis, discussion, writing & editing. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to share your work during the open mic afrer the Brooklyn Poetry Slam directly following the workshop. 

Led by Jive Poetic.


Capacity for this workshop has been reached. A waitlist is available. 

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Please arrive 10 minutes early to start promptly at 5:30PM.
  • Come with your favorite notebook and pen!
