Midwest Poetics Writing Workshop with Sheri Purpose Hall

Posted March 27, 2023

Monday, April 24, 2023 from 6:00-8:00 PM

Kansas City-based poet, writer and facilitator Sheri Purpose Hall will lead our next Midwest Poetics Writing Workshop. This two-hour intensive will be available to all as it will be held online via ZOOM.

The expression “thinking outside of the box” is overused and not as creative as one would deem. More often than not, we are in a box that is nested inside of another box, nested inside of another box. The trick is to be uninhibited and believe that the box isn’t there. Join Sheri Purpose Hall as we unbox and create!

Midwest Poetics is an opportunity for artists to hold space for writing, reading, and literature. This workshop series centers connection, conversation, collaboration, and communal learning to heal and ask more questions. We happily give the mic to Black and Indigenous vocalists, poets, writers, musicians, and performers of color to celebrate their craft and facilitate our workshops.

Midwest Poetics is a Lit space where we will workshop new material in a peer-to-peer setting every other month and conclude with an end-of-year showcase in December 2023.
