Hurston/Wright Weekend Writing Workshop

Sat. & Sun., June 23-24
Howard University

Kwame Dawes, introducing a short sci-fi poem during a reading, noted that the poem had been inspired by Marilyn Nelson, commenting that there may not be Black people in humanity’s post-Earth existence unless we write ourselves into it. In this two-day workshop, we will focus on the selfish and necessary act of imagining and rendering alternative futures (politically, culturally, socially, geographically, technologically, spiritually) for ourselves. Taking as models artists such as Octavia Butler, Tracy K. Smith, Joshua May, Sun Ra, Janelle Monáe, Lucille Clifton and others, we will explore this endeavor and write poems that envision our beyonds as spaces of Black possibility.
