Are you a fan of HEB? Whataburger? Other places, people, and things only Texans would know? Do you want to have fun writing poems only Texans can write? In this workshop, we will read and analyze poems by Texans about Texas — including poems by Ariana Brown, ire’ne lara silva, and Naomi Shihab Nye — and explore prompts created by award-winning writer KB Brookins. Participants will celebrate the rich tradition of Texas poetics and walk away with at least two new pieces.
This event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.
