Incantations, collage social, and readings

                
        Hello lovely people,
Welcome to my newsletter! I have some exciting things planned in the cloud and on the ground this month, and would love to experience them with you.
First up, a FREE, ONLINE workshop through Blue Stoop on 3/20:
In this free hour-long workshop, we'll study the components of poetic spells (e.g. repetition, invoking powerful forces, spoken delivery) and practice writing our own. We'll start with source texts like June Jordan's "Intifada Incantation: Poem #8 for b.b.L." then gather materials to generate (and optionally share) our own incantations. We'll close with strategies for giving our incantations power, asking ourselves: What physical form could the words take? What happens when you sing it to the air, paint it on a banner, or write it on a stone and throw it in the ocean?
Sign up to get the link!
Later in the month join me for A Writers’ Party, a free alternative to AWP, online and in Philly.
I’ll be hosting an in person COLLAGE SOCIAL at Wooden Shoe Books. There will be scissors. There will be glue. There will be magazines. We will be having a good time. Sign up here.
I’ll be reading here on Thursday, March 27 (alongside silent film footage)…
…and here on Saturday, March 29 (these lineups are not to be missed!)
Check out the full schedule
(How many times can I work in the fact that these events all cost zero dollars and are happening?) I hope to see you there!
Take care,
Miriam
P.S. as a bonus for reading this far, here’s something I enjoyed reading recently.
