Erasure Poetry Workshop

Join DSQO on August 25, 6 to 9 pm, for a FREE creative writing workshop where you can make poetry by "erasing" words from source text! Hosted by @modus_operandiee

🤔 What is erasure poetry?
Erasure Poetry is a form of found poetry where a writer takes an existing text or source material, such as pages of a book, newspaper clippings, articles or government documents, and removes or blocks out most of the words, leaving only a few words to form a completely new poem

✏️ Anyone can make erasure poetry! No writing experience or skill required. We will provide all materials but feel free to bring your own!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ How can poetry resist LGBTQ+ erasure?
The power of erasure poetry is that you can change what the source materia says to the reader. You can take anti-LGBTQ+ material and turn it into an affirming poetry about the beauty of the queer experience.

📰 Submit your poem to our community anthology! Submitted poetry will be compiled into a zine booklet to be shared digital and in print format.
