CYCLES
Our two bi-weekly writing workshops provides a space for participants to explore poetry and storytelling. Facilitated by Paul Con Queso and Ray Jane, these sessions encourages collaboration and creativity.​
​
Model poems, music & prompts will provide a template for attendees to tap into imagery & experiences from their lives which will help shape radical poems that explore what has shaped their cycles: how we rise, how we fall, & how we put ourselves back together. & together, we will venture into the brave spaces of healing & exploration of cycles still yet to come.
POETIC AFFAIR
Poetic Affair is a series of one-night events that consists of part poetry slam and part featuring artist showcase. Here, our artists get to be discovered within the community, and they get more exposure to the arts.
​
All poets of all ages, especially high school students, are encouraged to participate in the open mic while also joining the audience for a showcase of the featured poets.
​
We are always seeking partnerships with established poetry collectives to provide our community with events. All donations are managed to promote further events. Sign up for Poetic Affair below.
