Language is a Queer Thing: Workshop
Parth Rahatekar
Explore the emotional engine of your writing
Event Details
What drives a poem and what are we healing from?
In this intimate, generative workshop, poet Parth Rahatekar invites participants to explore the emotional engine of their writing. Together, you’ll trace your poem’s “motive,” examine its turning point, and sharpen your poetic weapon: the question at its core. Expect writing prompts, reflection, and space to experiment as you build a practice rooted in intention and clarity. Open to all writing levels. Please bring something to write on. Suitable for ages 16+.
