Writing What We Carry: A Poetry Workshop with Brandon Wint

In this warm, generative, and communal workshop, poet and spoken word artist invites writers of all experience levels to explore how poetry can help us carry deep emotion and honour the people and places we love most.

Through the works of luminaries like Ross Gay and Aracelis Girmay, we’ll investigate poetry’s capacity to let us write about our communities and neighbourhoods with reverence, attention, and beauty.

Together, we’ll ask:

• In what ways do I love the places, communities, and people from which I come?
• How can writing about the places and people I know best connect me to love, healing, or a sense of prayer?

This gathering is an invitation to reflect, write, and share in community—no prior poetry experience required.

What to Bring
Something to write with: a pen and notebook, or your phone—whatever suits you best.
