As part of the Poetry Coalition programming on Poetry & Grief, Rona Luo will lead a workshop on writing through grief with somatic rituals for revision. This workshop treats the revision process as an embodied practice, and theorizes that what we need in our bodies can inform what we need in our poems. This is a revision-focused workshop and participants are asked to bring a physical copy of a poem in revision stage. We will explore a series of somatic exercises before making physical interventions on our poems, creating new openings and possibilities for our writing. This workshop welcomes both those working through grief and anyone interested in exploring embodied practices for revision.

This class is a 1-day (75 minutes long) craft class on Saturday, March 25th from 3:00 PM–4:15 PM ET. This craft class is free and open to all writers of color.
