Join poet and American Book Award winner Adela Najarro for an immersive Canto, Grito Writing Workshop. 📖✍️ Together, you&rsquo;ll explore voice, memory, and place, and experiment with sound and image on the page. <a fr-original-style="" href="https://adelanajarro.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Adela Najarro</a> is the author of five poetry collections, including Variations in Blue, winner of the 47th American Book Award. Variations&nbsp;was selected for publication as the second volume of the Letras Latinas/Red Hen Collaborative series. Her other works include Split Geography, Twice Told Over, My Childrens, and&nbsp;Volcanic Interruptions, a chapbook featuring artwork by Janet Trenchard. WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION&nbsp; How to Love a Family Story Poetry encompasses all and cannot be contained, but where to start? In this workshop, we&rsquo;ll start with love, with those we love, with those who are tied to our hearts in the complexities of family joy and disappointment. To find truth, we need to dance through the familial mess and come out the other side with a piece of art called a poem. Thich Nhat Hanh, a renowned Zen Buddhist monk, published a tiny little book,&nbsp;How to Love, and using his words as a starting point, we will dive deep into the complexities of loving the people in our lives. In addition, join this workshop to expand your poetry toolbox. We will consider how image powers a poem&rsquo;s trajectory and the indeterminacy of language. There are multiple ways to love and multiple ways to capture those we love in our poems. For whom does your love speak? Hosted by Voices de la Luna and Yanaguana, this session supports our mission to inspire and promote literature and the arts, and to use creative work for education and healing. Writers and artists of all levels are welcome to listen, draft, share, and grow in community.
