“A poem becomes a map,” American poet Taiyon Coleman has written, “when it crosses boundaries of identity and experience, when it shows us how to move through and beyond the spaces that keep us from one another, and keep us from our own humanity.”
In this generative poetry writing session, Yona Harvey will guide participants through a series of prompts about places that are meaningful to them. At the end of the workshop, each participant will have at least one completed poem to take home. This workshop is accessible for a general audience. Participants are invited to write in Japanese or English—whichever they choose. No prior poetry writing experience is expected. The only requirement is an open mind.
