The world can be a scary place, chaos and uncertainty making us feel isolated and alone. Remaining grounded in gratitude and community can help, as can connecting through art and writing. In this generative writing workshop, participants will examine gratitude as active pursuits in both writing and life. We will study contemporary poems that effectively acknowledge, appreciate and, in turn, resist the world around them. Each participant will leave with their own writing drafts, prompts to use for further writing and recognition of, as the poet Rumi declared, the “hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” Writers of all levels and genres welcome and encouraged.
