The 2022 Círculo de poetas and Writers conference includes two break-out sessions where participants write poetry and prose with our workshop leaders. As always, each workshop is open to all writers, from those just starting their writing journey to published authors.
For each break-out session, participants choose one workshop:
Break-out Session #1 (11:00 to 12:00)
Workshop A: "Escribir sobre los amuletos/Writing About Amulets"--Led by Kadiri Vaquer Fernandez
Workshop B: "Decolonizing Our Writing: Part 1 Discussion"--Led by Odilia Galván Rodríguez
Workshop C: "Now Serving Poetry : A Meal in Community Part 1" --Led by Aideed Medina & Carla Schick
Break-out Session #2 (1:30 to 2:30)
Workshop A: "Every Flavor of Memoir: How to Bring Authentic Life to the Page"--Led by Janet Rodriguez
Workshop B: "Decolonizing Our Writing: Part 1 Discussion"--Led by Odilia Galván Rodríguez
Workshop C: "Now Serving Poetry : A Meal in Community Part 2" --Led by Violeta Orozco & Susana Praver-Pérez
Even though workshops B & C continue through both sessions, each part offers a unique program and can stand alone. You can take both or just one! Mix and match; explore and enjoy. (We apologize beforehand for making you pick and choose between these wonderful sessions!)
The conference will be online using Zoom. We will have a "How to Use Zoom" Q & A on Friday, August 12th at 6 pm.
We will try to accommodate as many participants in the Reading and Open Mic portion of the conference, so we must limit everyone to one poem or one paragraph of prose and a 3-minute maximum time limit. Make sure to sign-up for the open mic as part of your registration.
The conference is free and open to the public, though we do accept donations. No one will be turned away due to a lack of funds. However, we would appreciate a $25 donation or you can also become a Círculo member or continue your membership by posting the annual $50 dues.
The annual Círculo conference takes place in August every year. For 2022, the conference will be online through Zoom.
Every conference includes break-out sessions where participants can generate poetry and prose. Each workshop is open to all writers, from those just starting their writing journey to published authors.
The conference concludes with a "Reading and Open Mic" open to all participants.
