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 femme-identified.

Many of us are freelance\, adjunct instructors\, and creatives who continue to thrive in the margins of academia.\n\n  \nFeatured Poets: CAConrad\, Marty Correia\, Alexis Garcia\, Benjamin Garcia\, Omotara James\, Ricardo Alberto Maldonado\, Christina Quintana (CQ)\, and Crystal Valentine.\n\n\n  \nFeatured Visual Artists: Reba Billips\, Esteban Delgado\, Sy Klipsch-Abudu\, Brandon Menke\, Meesh Nah\, Umang Antariksh Sagar\, and Sherie Weldon\n\n\n  \nCheck out books by or including the featured poets on the Bureau’s online store!\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[Omotara James’s] limited-edition chapbook was selected by Kwame Dawes\, Chris Abani\, and the African Poetry Book Fund\, in collaboration with Akashic Books\, for the 2018 New-Generation African Poets Box Set\, and I am tickled pink for its release this month.
