Poetry on Black Wall Street is part 2 of 4 of the poetry workshop series Flaneuring Around Tulsa by local poet and writer Corinne Gaston. Inspired by the workshops of the acclaimed poet Cecilia Woloch, Flaneuring Around Tulsa will take writers to explore and write in different neighborhoods across the city with guidance from local historians, residents, and docents. As part of the series, all workshop participants will be invited to an optional writers' session to further develop their writing from the workshops among their peers. Participants will also be invited to share their writing in a celebratory public reading in December. This project was supported by the Artists Creative Fund.
