Join Elizabeth’s Bookshop & Writing Centre for the Writing and Grief: Writing Centre Workshop on Saturday, July 13, 11AM-12PM.
Poetry is often one of those things that brings to the surface complicated feelings and challenges us to make language from something that seems so impossible to convey.
Explore the ways in which poetry can help us name the uncomfortable and unexpected parts of grief and mourning and allow us to better process those feelings in a safe and open space.
While doing this, we will use parts of Victoria Chang’s OBIT as a foundation for generating poems that elegize while still searching for the hope within the despair.
Bookseller Madison will lead participants in this free, interactive writing workshop.
Workshop participants will receive 10% off a purchase at Elizabeth’s Bookshop.
