Through this practice, I've learned to lovingly set aside my inner critic in order to stretch into my own narrative. Finding my voice in this way has been nothing short of magical. I’m forever grateful to this community, and for the ability to share this practice with others. ~ Amy May

About the Workshop
A generative writing workshop for anyone curious about relating to Great Salt Lake as queer kin. We’ll be writing to prompts from the poetry of Sarah May, Cael Crosby, and other queer poets from irreplaceable. No writing experience required. All you need is a little courage, some paper, and a pen!
About River Writing
We create a friendly place to practice by making community agreements. We read poetry aloud to find prompts and then write with pen and paper to say the truest things we can say. Before beginning, we agree to be kind, to keep each other’s confidence, and to listen to each other with undivided attention. We agree to take care of ourselves and to share responsibility for creating a welcoming space. Everyone is invited. We practice non-judgement by forgoing apology, critique, and praise. It can be challenging not to praise each other, but we choose to opt out temporarily in order to take respite from the culture of comparison. Sharing your writing is optional. Whether or not you choose to read, we respond simply by saying thank you.
