workshops & talks
Facilitated poetry workshops for schools, communities, and cultural events.
Make language your playground.
What I Offer
I design and lead poetry workshops that make room for language, listening and risk. These sessions emphasize voice, place and the textures of lived experience.
My workshops are adaptable, collaborative, and shaped by the people in the room.
What I offer:
I lead workshops and talks for:
schools and universities
literary festivals and cultural organizations
libraries, community groups, and collectives
educators, writers and interdisciplinary audiences
Formats range from intimate seminars to large-group talks, and can be tailored to suit your context.
Workshop themes & formats
Sessions may focus on:
poetry as archive, witness, and inheritance
writing across languages, borders, and identities
hybrid forms (gloss, lyric essay, prose poetry)
revision as practice and conversation
mentorship, community, and sustainable creative practice
Workshops combine close reading, generative writing and discussion. No prior publishing experience is required.
How it works
Length: single sessions or multi-day series
Audience size: flexible, from small groups to large rooms
Format: in-person or online workshops
Customization: shaped by your event or curriculum
I’m happy to collaborate on content that aligns with your curriculum, program or event.
Let’s work together
If you’d like to invite me to lead a workshop or give a talk, I’d love to hear from you.
In the room
From book launches, workshops, and public conversations — writers, readers, and collaborators gathered in shared inquiry.
Past workshops & talks
I’ve led workshops, talks, and conversations across schools, universities, festivals, and community spaces. These sessions are shaped in dialogue with hosts and participants, and adapted to local contexts, themes, and audiences.
Recent and selected engagements include:
Book launches and readings for Radiant Wound — featuring generative writing sessions and facilitated discussion
Poetry workshops for secondary and postsecondary students, focused on voice, revision and risk
University guest lectures and seminars on poetry, hybridity and writing across languages
Community-based workshops with libraries and cultural organizations
Festival talks and panels exploring craft, mentorship, and contemporary poetry
Workshops range from intimate seminars to large-group conversations, and are designed to meet participants where they are — whether they are new to writing or deeply engaged in literary practice.
