Poetry And Play

Saturday Oct. 16th @10am-12 pst
*If you cannot attend live you can opt for a recording of the workshop

A 2 hour workshop exploring, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of craft. This workshop is designed to broaden your understanding of how to work with form, create space, and continue dialogue. This workshop will ask you to explore what you want to say with your work, how we preserve meaning, and where we go from here.

Amara Amaryah is an international poet and travel writer. Her poetry asks questions about generational traditions, blackness, spirit and becoming woman. 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 on stillness and legacy were longlisted for the Womens Poets’ Prize in 2020. Her travel writing can be found published in Here Magazine, Cinnamon Magazine and The Black Explorer Mag. The Opposite of an Exodus (Bad Betty Press, 2021) is her debut poetry pamphlet.
