at Presidio Branch Library Community Meeting Room
(see times)
Writing Home, a RAWI-sponsored poetry workshop led by Deema K. Shehabi
Having lost our way home through dystopia, exile, and creeping environmental degradation, how is it possible to reconstruct and/or recreate the idea of home through writing? By reading and studying a mix of contemporary poets who write about this theme, this workshop will seek to place participants in a space where they can negotiate their identities through language and explore the relationship between the cultures, histories, and geographical locations of their original national and ethnic group.
The workshop includes a discussion of poetry writing, and readings by Nathalie Khankan, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, Priscilla Wathington and Deema K. Shehabi.
