Poet Tea: Making & Writing about Tea
Teamaking, like writing, is a cultural activity that emphasizes ritual and sensory experience. In this interactive, generative poetry workshop, we will consider poems (such as Leila Chatti's "Tea") at the intersections of these themes, as well as engage in a series of generative writing prompts to explore image, memory, culture, and narrative. Participants need only bring their love of poetry and favorite tea with them for an interactive experience.
