- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Former-Arizona Poet Laureate Albert Ríos once wrote “words are our weakest hold on the world,” and this was before a global pandemic, and its consequent fallout, threw us all off our axes. This workshop aims not to recapture our hold on the world but to reimagine words we encounter daily and maybe take for granted.  Through examples and exercises, we will (re)consider previously published texts and (re)work them into works of prose, poetry, or some mix thereof. Presented by Writer in Residence Oscar Mancinas.
