SUMMARY:Sunday Workshop: Anna Ojascastro Guzon
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be held in-person at High Low. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn conjunction with our September Observable Readings\, Saint Louis Poetry Center is thrilled to welcome poet Anna Ojascastro Guzon for the August Sunday Workshop! This will be a generative workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExploring Poetic Pathways: Curiosity\, Attention\, & Play \n\n\n\nIn this generative workshop\, attendees will explore how poems can begin from many kinds of inspiration: literature\, music\, visual art\, food\, the outdoors\, and playful writing challenges.  Together\, participants will begin by brainstorming aloud and writing as a group\, then move into individual writing time. \n\n\n\nAttendees will have the opportunity to draft new work during the workshop and share works in progress aloud\, if they choose.  Anna Ojascastro Guzon’s approach draws on workshop practices developed by poets and educators David Lehman and Kenneth Koch\, and invites writers to use curiosity\, attention\, and creative play as pathways into new poems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGUIDELINES & REGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: this workshop is limited to 15 participants.

Who says the editing process cannot include crayons\, colored pencils or paint markers? In this hands-on workshop\, participants are invited to bring in two poems in progress and explore revision through art making. We’ll experiment with bringing our words to life to reimagine language\, deepen feeling\, and invoke fresh approaches to the editing process. No art experience required\, just curiosity and a willingness to play. Materials will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJASON VASSER-ELONG\, the author of Shrimp (2Leaf Press\, 2018)\, a collection of poetry that examines identity in a post-colonial context.

He has been featured in documentaries\, “Poetry in Motion: St. Louis Poets Take the Mic” and “Never been a Time” performing poetry\, and was recently featured in “Verse and Voice: The Podcast.” In September\, Jason will participate in Poetry in Motion: St. Louis Poets Take the Mic… LIVE at the High Low Listening Room. He holds a degree in anthropology\, a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing with an emphasis in poetry and is a doctor of education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE
