Join us on Thursday, March 19th, 2026 at 7 PM Eastern Time for a workshop with writer Luisa Caycedo-Kimura! This workshop is held in partnership with Strathmore.
In this workshop, we will examine how poets have used shifts and turns in their work. Using generative exercises, we will practice these techniques to awaken our poems and take them to surprising places. As the poet Jane Hirshfield says, “To say one thing is simply not to say enough.”
This workshop will be recorded and a link to the recorded version is available for registered participants only. The recorded version is edited for participant privacy and focuses on the instructor’s lessons. Our partners at Strathmore want these workshops to be as accessible as possible, so they are priced as “pay what you can.” You will be prompted to enter an amount of your choice when you register. (If you are registering for free, please enter $0.) If you are able to pay for these workshops, every dollar goes to support Strathmore’s education programs.
