Office Hours Poetry Workshop

General Admission

Join Office Hours for a Craft Class &amp; Reading with Latif Askia Ba on Thursday, May 15, 2025 from 6:30PM-8:30 PM via Zoom.&nbsp;&nbsp;Disabling Word:&nbsp;What is disability/crip poetics and how is it useful to our poetry? Together we will read through a diverse range of disabled poets to highlight the seemingly invisible assumptions made by normative language and ways of cripping language to create realities that exist outside of the hegemonic imagination. You will have a chance to write with the guide of prompts and to share your work, insights, and experiences.&nbsp;Latif&nbsp;Askia Ba is a choreic poet from Brooklyn, NY. Dancing in and out of various forms, he tries again and again to realize the music of the disabled body-mind-universe. You can find his work in Poetry Magazine, Poem-A-Day, and many other publications. His newest collection, The Choreic Period, was published by Milkweed Editions.&nbsp;
