A 6-week poetry workshop series for immigrant and first generation Americans. Write the immigrant experience. Affirm your place in America through the art of poetry.
This workshop series aims to uplift the voices of immigrants and their children in a political era that wishes to erase them from the cultural landscape. Participants will examine poems, essays, and other types of writing, in order to grow as poets and share their own immigrant stories.
