This workshop will explore writing from a feminine power. As women’s rights are threatened and a woman’s ability to make choices about her reproductive health becomes endangered, it is critical to speak out from a place of both vulnerability and strength. The aggressive, misogynist template that has been revitalized in our culture needs a gendered recalibration. This workshop will seek to generate work that resists and rejects anti-feminism in all forms. Three members of the Black Ladies Brunch Collective (BLBC), a poetry group whose mission is to lift up, promote, and inspire the voices of women of color, will lead this writing experience. We will draw inspiration from Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, Lucille Clifton, and Maxine Hong Kingston as well as use writing exercises to compose poems centered from a feminine consciousness. This workshop is open to all. Any poet seeking to connect with feminine energy is encouraged to attend.
