Chaos, Movement, and Perplexity: A Generative Poetry Workshop
About this Event
In this writing workshop, we’re going to embrace nonsense. We’re going to break language. We’re going to slice open our hearts and enter with curiosity. We’re going to look at the mundane and call it spectacular. How can we infuse play into our everyday writing practices? Who are you when you enter the page with joy rather than seriousness? What type of moves do you make when you’re grounded in your body? This session will focus on helping you plunge into the page with movement rather than hesitancy, embrace the unknown with excitement, and access strangeness in your writing and your life.

About Detroit Lit :
Detroit Lit is a project to support Detroit’s literary community. We acknowledge and uplift the history and culture of Detroit as a city region of people who have been traditionally excluded from the national conversation. As a place that is majority Black, Arab American, and Latinx, we center writers of color and their experiences.
Through joyful engagements and high-quality professional development, we provide writers with opportunities to gain the skills they need to excel in this field. Detroit Lit’s mission is to sustain and expand Detroit’s vibrant writing community, so no one feels forced to leave to succeed in the literary arts.
