Madrid Poetry Workshop

The sun is leaving its shyness behind and the cold is wavering in need of rest – they're leaving us with a few prompts on nature, change, loving like a season and neverending cycles.

The event will be, in essence, what we usually do in the workshop, just with more time — and outdoors! Of course, since I won't have to pay for our usual place, the activity will be, like, totally free :)

Feel free to come even if you've never written poetry. Even if you hate it. Even if your friend told you to come because its a nice day outside and sometimes you can meet cool people if you leave your house. Even if you're not gonna say a word. We don't mind. This is a safe space for you and your reasons for coming!

Also: Bring snacks. Bring your work to sell. Bring poems to read, even if they're not yours. Bring a friend. Most importantly, bring your most authentic self.

English event!

Learning to express yourself in healthy ways -- for the sake of both you and your reader -- is essential to productive writing. See, sometimes even creating can be destructive. So, come read your work, talk about your story, your inspirations, the life behind all the wishful endings. This is your space to let it all out, with a creative twist, within a safe environment :)

I created this world / to feel some control / destroy it if I want

I will also be sharing a document with poems and info related to the topic, for inspiration and whatnot.

Come over!

We always talk about taking inspiration from one another in our workshop. During this session, we will be writing poems after other poets.
Really, think: which poem or poet has inspired you? What is one line, concept or structure that has stuck with you?

If nothing comes to mind, you can always discuss with us what topics you're into and we'll find something you might find interesting -- better yet, find you a partner to write about each other with!

Come one, come all :)
