Office Hours Poetry Fellows from the Fall 2020 cohort will read the innovative poetry they’ve developed over the course of the workshop. Our free workshop provides post-MFA poets access to continued support for manuscript-development and everyday writing. We welcome all poets, especially people of color, LGBTQ+, and those who are femme-identified. Our name derives from our side hustle. Many of us are freelance, adjunct instructors, who continue to thrive in the margins of academia.
Featuring: Madeleine Mori , Carrie Hohmann Campbell, Mary Block, Laura Cresté, Emily Hockaday, Marty Correia, Paco Márquez, Sarah M. Sala, Holly Mitchell, and Linda Harris Dolan.
Suggested donation of $5 to benefit the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division
All are welcome to join, with or without a donation.
Registration on Eventbrite is required in order to receive the Zoom link for the event.
