"Humanize the Dehumanized: Immigration & Poetry" ~ July 14, 3:00
On Monday, July 14, National Book Award winner Martin Espada's workshop will focus on the use of poetry to emphasize with, and advocate on behalf of, immigrants. From Martin: "We'll explore the reality that migrants share a common humanity with us. We'll dig down into our own immigrant histories and search for parallels with contemporary struggles. We'll confront the fact that, historically, the same people others would deport have always done the 'dirty work' in our country. We'll read poems and, not least, we'll write in the garden."
Workshops are open to writers of all experience levels/genres. Registration is limited to 25 participants per workshop, so reserve your spot early!
