With Aishvarya Arora.
What can contemporary poets teach us about surviving the multiple social and political crises of our current moment? As importantly, what can they teach us about creating and nurturing the new worlds that will emerge from these moments? Taking guidance from writers like Naomi Shihab Nye, Hala Alyan, Franny Choi, Ross Gay, Danez Smith, and others, in this generative workshop we’ll read, discuss, and write together to consider how elements of poetic craft can urge us towards interrogation and action. Together, we’ll reach for Jericho Brown’s definition of a successful poem: one that “begins a new way of living” in its reader.
Aishvarya Arora is a poet from Queens Their collection, Mr. Time, was selected by Diannely Antigua as the winner of the Gold Line Press Poetry Contest for publication in 2026. They’ve received support from the Fulbright Program, Tupelo Press’s Merrill Family Fellowship, and the Asian American Writers’ Workshop, where they were a Poetry Coalition Fellow.
