Quick Write Weekend #1 is a sampler of the different types of poetry workshops Ariana offers. The first session is a generative writing class focused on poems by queer Black slam poets Janae Johnson and Sarah Nwafor. We will study their work and seriously consider how each writer explores gender, desire, their childhood selves, and memory. Ariana will facilitate group discussion and lead participants in writing poems on these topics.
The second session includes additional writing prompts and time to write, along with an open mic hosted by Ariana. The last half of the session includes a Q&A with Ariana in which participants are encouraged to ask any and all questions related to writing, editing, publishing, and promoting work. Open to writers of all experience levels ages 18 and up. Email Ariana with any questions.
