Sunday Workshop: Kristin Emanuel
September 27 @ 1:30 pm
This workshop will be held in-person at High Low.
In conjunction with our September Observable Readings, Saint Louis Poetry Center is thrilled to welcome poet Kristin Emanuel for the September Sunday Workshop! This will be a generative workshop.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Poetry Comics!
By including visuals in our writing practice, we can escape from creative ruts and embrace poetry’s dreamlike qualities. Poets like Bianca Stone, Gabrielle Bates, and Mita Mahato create surreal comics that involve collages, ink drawings, and paintings. The resulting images are striking: a man with the head of a bird, a papercut whale, and a human-sized ice cream cone in space. This workshop offers the time and art materials for you to craft your very own poetry comic. As a participant, you need not identify as an artist or a poet; you need only bring your curiosity and imagination.
