Writing Deliciously: The Poetry of Food Writing
$85
In “From Blossoms,” Li-Young Lee writes: “O, to take what we love inside, / to carry within us an orchard.” Together, we will delve into the intimate sensory memories that food evokes. How can writing about food open up evocative spaces of comfort, family, memory, shared rituals, and desires? How can writing through and about food radically strengthen our communities and open up our creative craft? Along with celebrating and exploring food writing by writers such as Lucille Clifton, Chen Chen, and Naomi Shihab Nye, we will write together inspired by delicious prompts. Bring snacks and a beloved vegetable/fruit.
This class is a part of Portland Book Festival 2023. Portland Book Festival passes sold separately. For more information about Portland Book Festival, visit pdxbookfest.org.
