SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Kemi Alabi
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nBreak from the expected and write toward the marvelous. Through surrealist poems and playful prompts\, this generative workshop helps poets tap the unconscious\, challenge repression\, and unlock bolder\, more imaginative work. \nKemi Alabi is the author of Against Heaven (Graywolf Press\, 2022)\, selected by Claudia Rankine as winner of the Academy of American Poets First Book Award. The collection was a Kate Tufts Discovery Award finalist\, Chicago Review of Books Award winner\, and one of New York Public Library’s Best Books of 2022\, among other honors. Alabi’s poems have appeared in The Atlantic\, The Nation\, Poetry\, Boston Review\, the Grammy-nominated album “Difficult Grace\,” and elsewhere. Alabi is co-editor of The Echoing Ida Collection (Feminist Press\, 2021)\, an anthology of Black reproductive justice writing. They’ve spent over a decade building narrative power for trans and queer bodily autonomy\, most recently as the 2024-2025 Feminist in Residence at Northwestern University. Alabi is currently the inaugural Beloit Poetry Journal Iron Mouth Curatorial Fellow. Born in Wisconsin on a Sunday in July\, they now live in Chicago\, IL.
