Spring Poetry Workshop: Narrative Repair, Love, and Ross Gay
I believe deeply in poetry’s power to reveal, transform, and heal—and I invite you to join my upcoming workshop: Narrative Repair, Love, and Ross Gay. Whether you’re an experienced writer or just beginning your journey, this space welcomes you to explore poetry as a tool for self-reflection, connection, and growth.
Through guided readings and writing prompts, we will engage with poetry not only as an art form but as a means of uncovering hidden truths, reclaiming our narratives, and reshaping the way we see ourselves and the world.
Fridays 4:30 p.m. - 6:15 p.m. - SIGN UP NOW!
In a supportive, low-pressure environment, you’ll have the opportunity to find your voice, share your work, and engage in meaningful conversations about love, identity, and gratitude.
Join me on this journey of creative expression—where words become a space for discovery, transformation, and radical self-acceptance!
