SUMMARY:Pride Poetry Workshop: Resistance - LGBTQ Poetry as an Act of Defiance
DESCRIPTION:2026 PRIDE POETRY WORKSHOPS AT THE ARTS CLUB\n\nThe Arts Club of Washington announces a slate of free community writing workshops for 2026\, led by five Pride Poets-in-Residence. Workshops are designed to be generative\, so participants will leave each session with a new poem-in-progress\, and are open to writers of all levels of experience and backgrounds. \n  \nPride Poetry Workshop: Resistance – LGBTQ Poetry as an Act of Defiance\nIn this workshop\, participants will consider the forms that resistance to the heteronormative status quo—and the limits of their own thinking—can take. We will look at poems that not only assert a queer life\, but also challenge those who view that life as “less than.” Led by Gregory Adams. \nGregory Adams is a founding member of Station-to-Station\, a groundbreaking collective of Black LGBTQ performance poets and writers of the 1980s\, and part of the creative team who produced the documentary Fierceness Served!: The ENIK Alley Coffeehouse (2021). \nRegister here.
