About this Event

This workshop will explore the power of poetry to confront and challenge distortions of truth. Participants are encouraged to bring a printed copy of a text or document that demonstrates writing that has disregarded truth, history or lived experience in some way. This could include inaccurate news articles, textbooks, documents, medical charts, legal records, frustrating emails/correspondences, legislation, policy documents and more. Please bring a copy or scan of the document that you can alter during the workshop.
