Through generative exercises\, we will write through the senses and then practice writing with and toward desire through memory. You will need something to write with and on. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nYanyi is a poet and critic.

The workshop culminates in a public reading each fall and spring to showcase sizzling new work. We welcome all poets\, especially people of color\, LGBTQ+\, and those who are woman-identified. Our name derives from our side hustle. Many of us are freelance\, adjunct instructors\, who continue to thrive in the margins of academia. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
