With poet Monica Kim!

Visual poetry as a form can be a portal in reading and approaching poetry: a portal for queering language; a portal for exploring grief; a portal for building radical poetry outside of the Western norm. In this workshop, we will read visual poems by Douglas Kearney, Diana Khoi Nguyen, and George Abraham and discuss how the visual aspect of their poems work as portals. Building upon their work, we'll have time for a generative writing session with generative and revision-based prompts for participants to explore writing their own visual poems.


About the Instructor: Monica Kim (she/her) is a queer Korean diasporic writer living on Canarsie & Munsee Lenape land (Brooklyn, New York). She is a first reader at Augur Magazine and has been a part of Tin House Summer Workshop, Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, Periplus Collective, and The Watering Hole. Her writing has appeared in SHO, Gulf Coast Journal, SUSPECT, and other publications.


* *This workshop will take place on Zoom.**
