- **Event Name**: BAFS Second Sunday Poetry Class "Kenning": Ft. Virginia Schultz and Esther Shipsey
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 11 Jan, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sun, 11 Jan, 2026 at 04:45 pm
- **Event Description**: In their first joint workshop, BAFS alumni Esther Shipsey and Virginia Schultz explore the art of naming as a way of knowing. From the Old Norse skalds to Heaney and Joyce to the Beverly Hillbillies, kenning has served for a thousand years as  a mind-door, a shade-form, an eye-key, a guide. In this workshop, we will study, play, and collaborate to create a tookit for bringing familiar forms into new shapes which prime, engage, beguile, transport, and reorient the reader into a world of your creation.

Esther Shipsey Bio:

Writing naively from the body and ear, Esther Shipsey’s voice is goofy, worldly, prophetic, lucid, tender, cutthroat, and femme. Her poems accordion years, stitch and scatter dialects, stretch and squeeze lifetimes, and loosen tangled songs of delusion, revelation, destiny, victory, and choice.  A woman of trans experience in recovery from addiction, Esther chooses to believe in life after survival and the guarantee of neither. She hopes that you do too. 

Virginia Bio: 

Virginia Schultz (she/her/hers/it) is a Poetry Expansionist, Planner, Minder of Resolve, Ideator, Systems Thinker, and grateful Breather of Air living within strawbale walls on the lower north side of Gold Hill, Colorado in the Doug Fir-Ponderosa Pine Forest of the Left Hand/St. Vrain/South Platte Watershed.
Virginia is intrigued by the mycorrhizal network, the breathing of trees, the colors and sounds of Nature, and the many forms of water. She enjoys exploring the wiggle-ness of the world in bits and bites, chewed on and filtered into poems using words both common and imagined, and often wonders how we have forgotten our connection to all beings; what it will take to remember.
