Community Poetry Workshop at Art Lit Lab: Spirals

Community Poetry Workshop:
SPIRALS by Patrycja Humienik
$12 Registration
6:30-8pm
Spirals, an enduring symbol across cultures for centuries, are a shape repeatedly encountered in the natural world. Spirals upend linear notions of time, orienting us toward the ongoingness of history—how past, present, and future are forever entwined. In this Community Workshop, we'll explore the spiral in relationship to syntax and the poetic image, and use ~spirals~ as our lens/generative spark.
