Take a workshop with award-winning poet and educator Danez Smith! Full festival details at www.TucsonPoetryFest.org.
Since the beginning of time we’ve been obsessed with time. How does it move? How are we held within it? How can we move in and out of it? Poets particularly seem obsessed with time and many have used poetry as a vehicle for time travel, finding queer and radical possibilities in going forward into the future or backward into the past for healing, or revolution, or for pure play. In this workshop we’ll read a sampling of poets going forward, backwards, and deeper into time before designing our own machines (hint: its poems) that will move us across the timeline to discover what waits for us if we dive into the stream and let it carry us further into our imaginations.
Workshop takes place in the Cabaret theater. Donations greatly appreciated at this free event.
