In this writing circle, we'll look at poems and prompts related to the erotic, exploring sensuality, sexuality, and pleasure as a vessel for self-knowledge, self-expression, creativity, and freedom. Like Audre Lorde says in the essay "Uses of the Erotic" for which this workshop is named,
When I speak of the erotic, then, I speak . . . of that creative energy empowered, the knowledge and use of which we are now reclaiming in our language, our history, our dancing, our loving, our work, our lives.
Poetry and writing are powerful ways through which to explore such creative energy and explore ourselves. We'll consider autonomy, desire, the natural world, and our relationships with plenty of time to write together in a confidential space.
Participants of Sensual Shapes: An Erotic Collage Workshop are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Jaye Elizabeth (they/she/whatever) is a poet, illustrator, professional pleasure seeker, and former Self Serve sex educator! Their practice connects language and art, the earth and the cosmos, erotics and education. They are a forever student (current subject areas include grief, disability justice, and the myths we make) and value the work of creating circles and containers for co-learning, unlearning, and collaboration.
