About the event
In her poem "Drive," Megan Fernandez writes: "Contradictions are a sign we are from God." Together in this single session, generative workshop, we will read and write poems about human behavior, disconnection and the divine. How does human nature act as both an obstacle and a natural pathway to the sacred? In a time of virtue signaling, AI and social media, how and where do we truly find one another (and ourselves)? How might we use the experience of living in the historical moment as fuel for generating new poems? Readings will include poets like Megan Fernandez, Jorie Graham, Tyree Daye, Amorak Huey, Tiana Clark, Miller Oberman, Megan Pinto and more.
