Rethinking Long Poems & Gathering Repeated Themes
July Writing Workshop with Amara Amaryah
Saturday, July 22nd @10am PST
This workshop has already taken place, you will receive a recording of this session.
Remembering is not a singular, linear act. Explore how to create sequence & collective poems that are thematically linked and speak to one another outside of time. This poetry workshop will show you the tools to creatively tease out subtle poetic links and confidently use the page to create questions about form and time. Leave the session with your own collection of poems that break, soothe, and then mold memories together to create new worlds to dwell in.
Amara Amaryah is an international poet and writer. Her poetry asks questions about generational traditions, blackness, spirit and wealth. As a Caribbean woman born and raised in Britain, her writings are also interested in voice - often voicelessness - and reclamations of identity through definitions of home. Amaryah's poetry has lived on the stages of Cosmopoetica (Cordoba, Spain), Birmingham's Hippodrome and has been translated and featured in various journals/anthologies. Amaryah's poems were longlisted for the Womens Poets’ Prize in 2020. The Opposite of an Exodus (Bad Betty Press, 2021) is her debut poetry pamphlet.
