Exploring Transgender Poetics
In this generative workshop, we'll reflect on a number of poems and poetics statements by TGNB+ writers, using those to inform the ways in which we write our own poems. After discussing how the physical body appears in the form of a poem, we'll focus on writing and sharing our own words, offering input and affirmation to each other along the way. By the end, participants will have expanded their definition of poetry and played with form while also dissecting their relationship with body and gender.
