For Here or To Go: A Writing Workshop

Calling all Miami food lovers! Coming up with the language to describe our eating experiences can be difficult, but doing it together - especially while enjoying our favorite foods - can make it much more fun. This virtual workshop will focus on accessible poetry forms. Some exercises will include collaboratively generating language, instructional poems, erasure poetry and other forms that will guide us towards assembling poetic language to describe our relationships to food and food culture. Please come to the workshop with a favorite Miami-inspired food or dish to eat and describe to us, and be prepared to share!
