THEME: James Baldwin wrote, "To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread." How can we access our stories through our senses? During our time together we will excavate memories, explore the role of the body in our creative process, discuss empathy, and wrap our voices around the issues that are important to us to create potent poetry infused with the work, play, pain and color of our everyday lives. 


Bring a dish/beverage to share, pen & pad to write & your work to share for the open mic! MUST EMAIL ASAP TO PLACE NAME ON WAITLIST: womenwritersbloom@gmail.com
Those who have previously RSVP'd for this event will receive email updates with address location & reminders about one week before the event.

  1. Oh! Wow! this is interesting! In my city also, there is something happening like this only in one of the Chicago event venues. I am going to attend this with all my girl-friends and I am sure we are going to have a great time there. Thanks for sharing this as well.
