Description
“Every poem is a thank you letter, an IOU and a complaint to the management.”
—Alice Waters
This workshop is based on what inspired Judyth Hill to write the internationally famous poem “Wage Peace” and what she learned from writing it. It will be a high-energy, hands-on, how-to workshop with inspiring exercises and handouts jam-packed with stirring global poetry that speaks for, sings for, and brings change.
We’ll learn to write lyrically, passionately, and effectively for peace and climate attention; age, racial, and gender equality—whatever is important to us. We’ll leave with exciting, usable tools to powerfully explore and offer our vision as activist-artists—jazzed, juiced, and ready to be the voices our time and culture need.
Bring a work in progress (all genres welcome).
