Want to make your writing more visual, generate new imagery and ideas, or find your way into a poem that isn't coming together through words alone? Maybe you're curious about what happens when you stop asking what a poem should look like and start asking what else it could becomeCome experiment with us.

Together, we’ll experiment with form as a way to invent new possibilities for how language can move, communicate, and take shape.No previous experience with visual poetry or visual art is necessary. Come ready to cut things apart, black things out, draw through language, rearrange what already exists, and see where the disruption takes us! Bring your curiosity, your unfinished ideas, and your willingness to experiment.Facilitated by Lyn Patterson, a poet, visual artist, and educator who has spent years practicing and teaching visual poetics and experimenting with the relationship between language, image, and form. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/beyond-form-beyond-limits-a-visual-poetics-workshop/100001998940471761 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: 1427 Broadway - **lat**: 37.80482569999999 - **long**: -122.2711054 - **full address**: 1427 Broadway, 1427 Broadway, Oakland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Beyond Form, Beyond Limits: A Visual Poetics Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/d8648d0d9b7ba2e15d1bc4b553f0bab98f732881a61e35a094e8018f6ad79699-rimg-w1200-h1600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1787771904 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Beyond Form, Beyond Limits: A Visual Poetics Workshop being held? - **A:** Beyond Form, Beyond Limits: A Visual Poetics Workshop takes place on Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm at 1427 Broadway, 1427 Broadway, Oakland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Beyond Form, Beyond Limits: A Visual Poetics Workshop? - **A:** Beyond Form, Beyond Limits: A Visual Poetics Workshop is organized by Lyn Patterson. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

She is a deeply invigorated poet, specifically inspired to write about Black diaspora and those who have been systematically marginalized in society as a means of empowering future generations with their stories. For Patterson, storytelling is a sacred ancestral endeavor which can be used as a tool for paying homage and building future communities. Patterson often uses visual mediums to encapsulate her words and elevate the ways in which texts exist in conversation with one another. Her work has been published in Popshot Magazine, the Berkeley Poetry Review and has been featured on KQED." } ] } ] ```
