Part of The Poetry Society of New York's Weekly Virtual Workshop Series.

With poet Ada Elechi!

What happens when we peer across dimensions into the multiverse? In this workshop, we will journey into ideas around alternate universes, outer space, and inner space (i.e., the galaxies within us) for poetic inspiration. What realities can we create, visualize, or sense from these realms that inspire poetry? Guided by works from poets who have found inspiration in these spaces, we will explore what comes forth when we release our imaginations into the deep unknown.
