Hot Fun in the Summertime DocuSign Envelope ID: B80F3B6D- D9CD -4AO1- 8140- 32D8F834461F July 7, 2018 Orange County Library, Hillsborough In this generative workshop, we'll examine the techniques used in published poems about summer fun, then explore our own memories of childhood and adolescent pleasures, as well as adult experiences, deepened with an awareness of challenges we faced during those times. Poets on Domestic Violence October 22, 2018 Orange County Library, Hillsborough The library honors Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a reading by five poets who write with courage and candor about experiences with family and /or intimate partner violence. Featured readers: Pam Baggett, Joan Barasovska, Terri Greco, Janis Harrington, and Priscilla Webster - Williams. Writing About Domestic Violence November 3, 2018 Orange County Library, Hillsborough Pam Baggett will create a safe space in which to write about family and /or intimate partner violence. Writers who have not experienced abuse are welcome to explore their thoughts on the violence ingrained in our society. Pam is a former volunteer at the Compass Center in Chapel Hill, where she co -wrote and facilitated a writing support group for survivors of domestic violence. African - American Poetry, Past and Present February 19, 2019 Location* Celebrate Black History Month with a poetry reading featuring youth slam team the Sacrificial Poets and Bull City Slammer Ashley Lumpkin. An older poet, to be determined, will read work from African - American writers who influenced her, as well as her own poems. Writing Political Poems February 23, 2019 Location* Poets everywhere are speaking out about what they believe in. In this generative workshop, we'll examine techniques used in work that tackles tough topics like racial inequality, immigration, war, climate change, and governmental incompetence. We'll then use those techniques to begin our own poems. International Women's Day Poetry Reading March 8, 2018 Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill Celebrate International Women's Day with a reading by ten poets of diverse age, race, and background, all female or who identify as female. Each poet will read three poems on the themes of who we are; what matters to us; and a woman who has loved, inspired, or influenced us. DocuSign Envelope ID: B80F3B6D- D9CD -4AO1- 8140- 32D8F834461F Tools of the Craft: a Revision Workshop Date and location* Michelangelo said: "Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." You've created the block of stone, your first draft. Now it's time to discover the finished poem in the uncarved marble. We'll explore techniques for revising our work without destroying it, so that each poem attains its true form. *2019 events cannot be scheduled at either the Orange County Library or at the Chapel Hill Library until September. - ommLinity 1_mpact Past readings at the Orange County Library in Hillsborough and other venues have attracted twenty -five to sixty attendees, and I anticipate that grant- funded readings will attract similar numbers. Audiences have been a mix of poets and interested non - writing members of the public. The readings I host support the work of poets willing to tackle difficult subjects like racism, domestic violence, and women's rights. I want this work in front of the non - writing public, and I want other writers to hear what's possible when a poet lets herself /himself speak with honesty about what she /he believes in. Past workshops at the Orange County Library in Hillsborough have served five to fifteen writers with a wide range of skill and experience, with ages ranging from sixteen to eighty. My target number of participants for each grant- funded workshop is ten to fifteen attendees, a goal I met in the 2017 -18 grant cycle. My purpose with workshops is to explore territory poets might not otherwise feel able to write about but which are places in need of self- expression. I use experience gained as co- facilitator of a writing support group for survivors of domestic violence at the Compass Center for Women and Families in Chapel Hill to guide me in creating a safe space in which to write. During last year's grant- funded workshop on writing about family, one older woman said she had written about a painful family issue involving abuse that she'd never be able to broach before. A writer in another workshop also explored a subject long buried, one I can't name or be more specific about because I assured her of confidentiality. The Skin! workshop in February 2018 was fraught with the grief of black participants and a deep sense of guilt on the part of white participants, yet we successfully navigated those difficult feelings so we could do the powerful work of exploring and expressing them through our poems.
