In this generative workshop for all skill and experience levels, we’ll look at one or two of Ross Gay’s poems in "Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude", and then try our hand at some writing ourselves.
Bring paper and pen, and if you don’t yet have your free copy of Ross Gay’s book, we’ll have copies available for you.
This event is part of our Big Read programming. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. Sponsored by Hive Center for the Book Arts.
