SUMMARY:Craft Class & Reading with Wo Chan (online class)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Craft Class & Reading with Wo Chan \nCraft class: 6:30-8:30 PM EST \nFollowed by a reading from 8:35-8:45 PM \n“I love you. I’m glad I exist”: Poems of Daily Gratitude and Dedication \nHow do we mark the days? How do we describe (with care) the mundane and charged experiences that fill our lives? In this class\, we will be reading poems that track daily living\, uplifting on-the-ground quotidian writing with deep\, intimate epistolary to open up a space of vulnerability\, immediacy\, and care. We will think about poetry writing as a ritualistic practice—for mourning\, for celebration\, and for tedium. We will read poems by Marilyn Hacker\, Aracelis Girmay\, Nazim Hikmet\, Fay Chiang\, Sharon Olds\, Gabrielle Calvorcoressi\, Dorianne Laux\, Wendy Cope\, and more. Come ready to write about your life as you are today. No prior writing experience necessary. \nSuggested donation is $10 (but not required). All donations go directly to the course instructor. Writers of all backgrounds welcome. You can make a donation when you register on Eventbrite. \nClick here to register\nRegistration on Eventbrite is required in order to gain access to this event on Zoom. \nWo Chan is the recipient of fellowships from Kundiman\, Poets House\, the Lambda Literary Foundation\, Poets & Writers\, and the Asian American Writers’ Workshop. They served as a program assistant for Poets & Writers and a communications assistant for Kundiman. They live in Brooklyn and are a member of the Brooklyn-based drag alliance Switch n’ Play. \nOffice Hours Poetry Workshop is a community-based writing workshop for poets who show a demonstrated commitment to writing. The workshop fellowship 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 womxn-identified. Our Craft Classes are free and open to the public with RSVP.
