Boston Book Festival

Led by award-winning poet and spoken word artist Jarvis Subia, author of Hello Joy (Black Lawrence Press), this workshop will explore the range of joy inside our writing. We will utilize exercises such as a writing prompt, board pallets, and group discussion to execute this session. We will read poets Jose Olivarez and Ariana Brown to take a closer look at their perspectives on joy, All culminating in writing an ode to the things which bring us joy. This will mostly consist of generative writing and group discussion of poetry.
