Facilitated by renowned poet literary, theorist, and professor, Rosamond S. King, this literary workshop will explore the profound writings of Gwendolyn Brooks, one of the most profound poets and authors of the 20th century, and reflect on how her work remains relevant today. It will also offer space for Black expressive resistance and imagination and how Black poetry and literature bring new perspectives to individual narratives and stories relevant to the community. Participants will then compose and share poetry of their own.
