demons, diaspora & magic
|
This workshop is designed for oppressed communities (especially people of color) to write about their oppressions as demons, charting a journey of healing from beginning to end. We will examine the use of history in poetry, allowing our demons, ancestors, and many selves to converse. What violences must be named? & how did they come to be? What stories/magic/medicine have forgotten, & what can be recovered? This course demands the poet return for whatever pieces of themselves have been left behind due to colonial/neocolonial or other oppressive processes in order to witness a possible future.
Registration begins June 15th
Workshop runs July 1st-Aug 12th |
