SUMMARY:Writing a Love Poem: Messy & Brite with Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo
DESCRIPTION:Join Campo de Cahuenga Museum for a love poetry workshop led by award-winning poet and professor\, Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo.\n\n\nIn this one-hour writing lab\, we will explore love poems from the 20th and 21st century and use them as jumping off points for our own poems of romantic and sensual love. With a focus on the “you\,” we will get down to\, what Eileen Myles calls the “messy & brite” parts of worship\, obsession\, and the body. Bring your writing tools and an open heart and dive in with a community of poets. \n \nAbout the Poet: \nXochitl-Julisa Bermejo is the daughter of Mexican immigrants and author of Incantation: Love Poems for Battle Sites and Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge. A former Steinbeck Fellow and Poets & Writers California Writers Exchange winner\, Bermejo’s poetry and essays can be found at Acentos Review\, Huizache\, LA Review of Books\, The Offing\, \, Santa Fe Writers Project\, and other journals. Her poem “Battlegrounds” is featured in Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day\, On Being’s Poetry Unbound\, and Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World. Her most recent essay\, “How to Write a Love Poem” can be found at Cleaver Magazine. She is the director of Women Who Submit. \n \nThis workshop is brought to you by the Los Angeles Park Foundation and community members like you! \n \n*Please reserve a spot.
