Fresh Starts
In the last year and half, we have witnessed and experienced immeasurable grief. Fresh Starts is a gentle and generative poetry writing class designed to help people write through some of the feelings and thoughts that have stayed with us during this time. It is designed as a low-stakes communal approach to writing when you don’t know where to begin.
Together we will study prose poems, list poems, poems about grief, and odes by Black writers such as Suzi Q. Smith, KB, Ebony Stewart, and Janae Johnson. Ariana will facilitate group discussion about writing techniques and how each writer discusses grief and possibility. Writing prompts will ask participants to write imitation poems so as to understand the purpose of each form. There will be plenty of time to write, discuss, and share new work. Open to writers of all experience levels ages 18 and up.
