Poetry Society of NY BIPOC Free Verse Workshop: Writing Queer Erotic Poetry

Join us at August 2026's Free Verse Virtual Workshop for BIPOC Creatives with Ally Ang!

A free generative virtual workshop for BIPOC Creatives with poet Ally Ang!

In this workshop, we will dive headfirst into poetry exploring the sexual, sensual, and erotic, and unpack the messiness and shame that can come with writing about these subjects. With a theoretical grounding by Audre Lorde, we will read and discuss poems by Justin Chin, Lue Hughes, torrin a. greathouse, and Natasha Oladokun, and we will engage in generative writing exercises to write our own queer erotic poems.

If you do not identify as BIPOC, we warmly invite you to explore other PSNY events.
