SUMMARY:Office Hours presents: Virtual Craft Class & Reading with Omotara James
DESCRIPTION:Postponed to Thursday\, October 5\, 2023\n  \nJoin us for a Virtual Craft Class & Reading with Omotara James on Thursday\, October 5\, 2023. Craft Class will run from 6:30PM-8:30 PM EST. Followed by a reading from 8:30 PM-8:45 PM. \n  \nDESPERATELY SEEKING EROS: Edna St. Vincent Millay famously wrote “life is a quest and love is a quarrel.” What are your poems arguing against or toward? This workshop will eschew the traditional examinations of love and desire for poems that insist on exploring the existence of love in the less conventional or expected places. We will delve into the intractable relationship between eros and pathos (love and suffering). How can you shape the container of the poem to best articulate experience? What poetry forms most effectively carry the poetics of joy and despair? What does the modern discourse on desire leave out? Come ready to write yourself into the cannon. This experience will be more of a writing lab than a workshop\, so arrive ready to connect\, experiment\, and play! \n  \nRegistration on Eventbrite is required in order to access the Zoom link for the class. All donations go to the instructor.\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. All “tip jar” donations go directly to the author. \n  \nThis event is funded in part by Poets & Writers through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs\, in partnership with the City Council.
