925 U Street NW
April is both National Poetry Month and Sexual Awareness Assault Month. To mark this convergence, the Humanities Council of Washington, DC is partnering with Split This Rock to present a workshop on writing poems about sexual violence.
Writing is an important tool in healing. In this afternoon seminar, we will look at model poems on the topic, and discuss how we can transform traumatic personal experiences (of our own or those we have witnessed) into art. We will examine point of view, tone, and the balance between the told and the implied.
Limited to 12 participants. Open to men as well as women. Admission is free but pre-registration is required. To register, email Alicia Gregory at Split This Rock at: gregory@splitthisrock.org.
This workshop is presented as part of "Live to Read," an annual program to encourage DC residents to read literature for pleasure. The 2011 book is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning play "Ruined," by Lynn Nottage. For more information on "Live to Read" see: www.wdchumanities.org.
