Writing Truth About the Body
The human body is much mentioned in writing, but often stereotyped, idealized, or misrepresented. In this workshop, we'll look at some examples of how people have written about the body, and try to write closely from what we have really observed and know about the body, its pains and pleasures. This workshop is for poets and writers of all genres.
Zack Rogow will be featured in a reading of translations, with poets Steve Kowit and Megan Webster at The Ink Spot, Friday, June 12, 7:30 pm.
