In this writing workshop by and for femmes at the margins, we will read writing by a wide variety of femme writers, storytellers and creators and write poetry and prose on femme ancestors, communities, bodies, lives, homes, sexualities, relationships and survival. Born out of my love for femmes and femme writing and thinking and organizing and world-making, and my desire to say fuck you to every gender studies course that just talks about masculinity, we will study writing- poetry, prose, memoir, theory and hybrid works by queer femmes thriving, surviving and gifting genius at multiple margins. This workshop is open to folks who identify as queer femmes, across the gender spectrum, and centers Black, Indigenous and/or of color/disabled/trans, intersex and gender nonconforming/fat/sex working/ poor and working class/ currently or formerly incarcerated/older and younger and otherwise marginalized femmes.
