Language is a Queer Thing: Workshop
Parth Rahatekar
The emotional engine of writing explored
What drives a poem and what are we healing from?
In this intimate, generative workshop, poet Parth Rahatekar invited participants to explore the emotional engine of their writing. Together, they traced their poem’s “motive,” examine its turning point, and sharpened their poetic weapon: the question at its core.
There were writing prompts, reflection, and space to experiment as participants built a practice rooted in intention and clarity.
