Succulent Poetry: Memory and Food Writing with Jane Wong

In "From Blossoms," Li-Young Lee writes: "O, to take what we love inside, / to carry within us an orchard." Together, we will delve into the intimate sensory memories that food evokes. How can writing about food open up evocative spaces of comfort, family, memory, shared rituals, and desires? How can writing through and about food radically strengthen our communities and open up our creative craft? Along with celebrating and exploring food writing by poets such as Lucille Clifton, Chen Chen, Naomi Shihab Nye, and more, we will write together inspired by delicious prompts. Bring lots of snacks and a beloved vegetable/fruit.

This class is a 1-day (3 hours long) craft class on Saturday, February 4th from 2:00 PM–5:00 PM ET. This craft class is open to all writers of color.
