SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: MK Chavez
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. \nThis workshop will explore how hybrid poetry serves as a powerful tool for self-exploration and expression. By engaging with the fluid and transformative nature of hybrid forms\, we’ll delve into how our identities\, shaped by the intersections of various influences\, can be authentically reflected in our writing. We will examine how hybrid poems\, which blend elements of narrative\, memoir\, and cultural commentary\, allow us to navigate the complexities of our inner and outer worlds. Participants will have the opportunity to create works that capture the richness of their experiences\, exploring themes of identity\, place\, and the self in all its dimensions. This workshop invites writers to move beyond traditional forms\, using hybrid poetry as a way to express the multifaceted nature of their authentic selves. Whether you’re experienced in poetry or new to this form\, this workshop will provide a supportive space to explore the connections between our lived experiences and our creative expressions. \nMK CHAVEZ is a writer and educator whose work explores mixed-race identity\, social justice\, environmental resilience\, horror cinema\, magic\, ritual\, and the creative process. As founder of the Ouroboros Writing Lab\, MK Chavez provides a nurturing space for writers to grow. The Lab offers workshops designed to expand creative boundaries and individual and group creative coaching. Chavez’s work is recognized with the Pen Josephine Miles Award\, San Francisco Foundation/Nomadic Press Literary Award\, and the Ruth Weiss Maverick Award. Chavez’s publications include Dear Animal\, Mothermorphosis\, the lyric essay chapbook A Brief History of the Selfie\, and Virgin Eyes. Recent work can be found as part of the art installation Manifest Differently. \n​
